Midnight Club 3 : DUB Edition (PSP)

Product Information

A large number of Detroit techno artists are also featured on the soundtrack, reflecting the game's setting. The three cities presented still don't distinguish themselves in any large way -- everywhere looks just dark at midnight, I guess -- but that was an issue from the console game as well, and the PSP version doesn't suffer from any scaling back to lose locale identity. If you enjoy this free ROM on Emulator Games then you will also like similar titles Midnight Club - L.

Switching cars takes what feels like forever, the stat bars don't always load in the meantime, and there's a full pause while you wait for the 3D car to load instead of having the car model load in the background. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing Russian Wikipedia article at [[:ru:Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition]]; see its history for attribution. Eidos Montreal deftly updated the game to give it more modern sensibilities while retaining the core of what captivated us with the original. In contrast to the international route of Midnight Club 2, which passed via Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo, racers will find themselves competing in three different locations within the United States: San Diego, Atlanta, and Detroit.Of course, the game has to load the car models of your opponents, but then why does the second and third race against the exact same opponents take exactly as long? Hydraulics are still available for bouncing, and the more useful weight shifting is also on the layout. This site makes no claim to Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, its characters, screenshots, artwork, music, or any intellectual property contained within. You, of course, have your nitros and your handbrake, but there's also your button for activating Roar/Zone/Agro. The worst part about Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition on the PSP is, obviously, that it takes forever to load.

None of the material contained within this site may be reproduced in any conceivable fashion without permission from the author(s) of said material. Reflection mapping on your car is rendered with whirling hues and impressive atmosphere (even if it is a clever trick that's not really as accurate as the reflection looks -- it'd take a total blowhard or a jealous rival developer to fault the cheat when it works this well). But even for die-hards, there's always this nagging suspicion in the back of your mind while playing (or rather, waiting) that it may not be the PSP screwing everything up.

The game has to load every time you start a race -- it's a big, open city, but you can't do anything in it without having to reload the whole thing. There is also a tournament going on, for which the prize is a "DUB'd-Out" 2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT. Thank the Lloyd that the game doesn't require you to reload the game every time you have to restart a specific race -- now why can't the entire game just cruise along and move quick from task to task just like that? Played up against smooth games like Ridge Racer or even Need For Speed Underground: Rivals (which itself never got past 30), and it just looks as if it's a performance tech demo of a final game not due for months.

The shading used on buildings gives lots of visual depth to the game world, and the abundant use of neon makes key areas pop off the screen. According to the developer Rockstar San Diego, the three cities present in the initial 2005 release of the game were chosen due to their significance to the game's automotive and racing themes. Couple this sense of speed with really, really tight control that allows you to make very precise movements through traffic (even with the PSP’s notoriously nearly universally hated analog nub) and you’ll find yourself addicted to racing in no time.

If you could have picked points to race to in multiplayer, or had an in-game menu of modes to jump into while in Cruise Mode, it would have been a killer party game. After defeating all racers and tournaments in Atlanta, Apone mentions that there are more races going on in Detroit and that he thinks it is a good idea for the player to check it out. Amazingly, these are aspects that I was actually able to get over -- play it for a couple of hours, and might get to hardly notice the chugging. It is available as a Greatest Hits release on PlayStation 2 and a Platinum Hits release on Xbox (the remix edition of the game is not available for the PlayStation Portable).

Other than modifying the external looks, the vehicle's performance can also be improved (with the exception of all "A" Class non-motorcycle vehicles).Sure, there are some framerate issues at times, but you’ll forgive that because you can race through three massive cities.
