MCLA may not be the perfect racing game but this is definitely a game worth coming back to
I hate people who abbreviate obvious shit. Just say, this game is worth coming back to tho.... don’t worry, we will know what game your talking about....
Ur pfp still isnt perfect at all.
@@cassetteo who pissed in your cheerios this morning?
It being worth coming back to, that’s debatable lol.
@@justinhensley4041 yeah no lol. This game sucks ass compared to midnight club 3
How dare you... This game had turn engine on and off, driver looking back when reversing, test driving cars (hell, I probably spent weeks at just test driving the cars as a 12 year old kid) AND INTERIOR CAMERA. This game is GOAT
this is one of my favourite racing games of all time. the atmosphere, the cops, the cars, the customization. it also has a nostalgia effect for me
Same even tho you race the same tracks sometimes it never feels repetitive for me, totally my favourite racing game and in my opinion the best racing game in terms of presentation, i never expirienced a racing game with better atmosphere
I always remembered that game because of his atmosphere. The LA city are very alive, everything in the game looks like you are a part of that world. For me it's one of the best racing games ever
And his kick ass soundtrack
Only midnight club I had played. It was fun to rip bikes around though the world was sick
The depth of customization also nice
@@VspecANTHO yep, the soundtrack Just add depth to the atmosphere
Best racing game ever, i gonna guess you haven't played that many racing games in your life.
So few people think it's the best in the franchise. I don't know why it would be overrated.
*Not being better than Midnight Club 2 or 3 doesn't automatically make it overrated*
Yes, I think Midnight Club 2 and especially the third part is way better. I still play the third part sometimes.
Exactly. Even LA Remix is often considered better than this game. It was hype at the time of release, but I quickly realized I enjoyed 3 the most in the series.
Midnight Club: Los Angeles has map size and seventh generation graphics going for it over the Midnight Club games from the sixth console generation but I still prefer Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition REMIX since it has four different cities whose combined areas may still be larger than Midnight Club: Los Angeles's map (and I also like that the REMIX edition has a tuner-licensed Ferrari F355).
@Shadow Knight It's highly-shrunken Los Angeles, though that's in keeping with the city maps in the other games. It has a lot of the real landmarks and the most important streets and intersections but the distances between them are compressed.
@@ProphitDesigns I really don't get LA Remix, and its process of being made. Like you make a cut down version LA for PSP, so you go grab MC 2 LA map, and add Tokyo too, isteand of making that LA map bit larger so its a compromise. Also i only heard htis, but cars are split up... for some reason you cant use all cars in both cities. I hope thats some joke on the internet because it would be really weird.
Midnight Club: Los Angeles looks decent for a 12 year old game imo.
yeah it does tbh. Then again kuru's standards for graphics are a bit over the place
Right on time, like CustomName commenting on a 5 minute F1 video.
@@raykreiger4123 Bro he never talked about graphics being crap af, he just talked about lack of sense of speed and crap physics
@Josiah Oliver there were plans to have both models of the Escalade (2004 and 2007) to return.
Still wishing they make a new midnight club.
The game didnt sell on low numbers because it was bad, literally no one noticed it came out because there was no ads or anything about it, not even in the rockstar web page. I do agree that bikes are quite broken, but i wouldnt say the cars grip is that bad.
Yes. Unlike 3 which Rockstar was quite relentless on the marketing material to compete with Underground 2, LA came and went. It received two updates and done. Most Wanted was right around, but the standard was U2. Unless there are some people that worked on one franchise quitting to work on the competition like the movie Antz came around the same time as A Bugs Life with a similar premise, games take around a year at least to be finalised, so the idea was to compete for what it was released and not what it could have become.
@@lordeilluminati To be fair, MC LA released at a time "bling rap"'s popularity was fading and in the backdrop of the financial crisis so I guess a game about High Life LA, racing luxury DUBbed up whips wasn't gonna garner as much interest. Also, the FnF era of Undergrounds and Most Wanteds had gone and passed so the concept of street racing wasn't as novel anymore.
The bikes being broken are due to how OP they are for their cheap price, likely to compensate for being extremely fragile, harder to master and being easy to fall and take long to restart.
@@TheSultan1470 games are there to escape reality, a broken economy doesn't prevent us from wanting to have a huge car collection on games, if anything it's an incentive to try to see what we can't live, and the street racing genere never died off, but NFS's quality did with people being dissapointed about Undercover and Pro Street being a huge but deeply buried diamond
@@jskylinegtr34 it's just because high end bikes are actually cheap compared to sports cars, if you don't go super crazy 14K can get you a SERIOUS bike, and i'm talking brand new, if you go used the deals are even better.
Overrated? Who has ever overrated this game!? Whatever praise this game gets it deserves its the best arcade street racing game during the ps3/360 era.
Uh it's not an arcade racing game if it has a storyline
@@punisha4032 What even is that take?
A remaster is what Rockstar won't give us
Especially because of how GTA V online has practically blended MC into it because of modification scene and fact they can make cars close to real ones without paying the licenses = even more profit margins potentially.
Might not be something players want. But it's obvious rockstar plan now as a average midnight club game could do more harm for the brand and IP which won't look good for investors if it was a "average" game in reviews
@@tdeclan3350 True bro
I mean, we are getting a remaster from Rockstar...
_but not for Midnight Club tho_
and pc version Rockstar won't give us
@@weonvirtual Says what? Rumors?
It's "overrated"? I haven't heard *anyone* talk about the game. To be fair, I haven't heard anyone talk of Midnight Club at all.
Looking at the Midnight Club LA archives we can found a NISSAN GTR R35 (including bumpers, spoilers and widebody), while switching races we can see the airport of Los Angeles and some houses on the right of the map, there is a lot of simple bugs in this game, I feel like MCLA has never been finished, and unfortunately, it will never be.
Well, during it's development, it was definitely rushed.
so sad that many people that developed the game quit Rockstar after the Complete Edition of the game :/
Yeah and there was supposed to be an Ford F150 in the game I love midnight club LA even though it feels rushed with tons of good content cut.
During the development the developers (Angel Studios) were bought by Rockstar North for 2.000.000$. I don't know what happened to AS now, but there are still no plans for returning MC series. Probably Rockstar don't want AS to make a fifth game, since Rockstar are into GTA parts
P.S. yeah MCLA looks very unfinished, because there lots of leftovers, just like in NFSU2, NFSUC and NFSMW2012, but it's for some reason MCLA is still extremely overrated by MC fanbase
@@user-dt8fi1ee7b :O
The physics were best in this
I mean if you hit an unbreakable object you get pushed back or physics act
Yea if you hit trees and light posts you get bounced off
@Josiah Oliver no duh
@Josiah Oliver you need to going fast
Not trying to be rude, or a fanboy but seems to me like most of the problems you had with this game are personal, not following checkpoints will cause you to fuck up and lose a race, that’s the same on most games with the exception of Forza Horzion where you can rewind? Bad physics are exasperated when you’re not even trying to drive properly? I’m not sure if you were purposely yeeting your car into walls/railings.
Yeah he sucks
1:49 "AAAA Delivery" - That got me🤣
that texture bug is actually present in GTA 5 too; im supposing it has to do something with the RAGE engine they use being a bit obsolete when it comes to rendering far-away textures in
You wont have that problem on Xbox One. The 360 cant render the game fast enough. As soon as you get a supercar you have that problem all the time in certain areas on 360
@@Daniel6254 Because early RAGE games optimization is a pile of shit, cause it was new and very hardware demanding.
@@patrxgt9691 i mean GTA 4 barely hit that 60fps mark even with RTX 3000 series/AMD RX 6000XT series cards at 4k at maxed out settings so there's that
@@adlibbed2138 GTA IV is badly optimized, because it was first game on this engine with such a big and detailed world.
Even the map of GTA 5 seems familiar.......
Overrated ? Lmao I’d say that about this channel first before the game. You can’t be serious 🤣🤣
Man if only Midnight Club 3 had a proper pc port.
if only :(
This game had a very faithful LA city, I thought it was a great game with a really good soundtrack.
11:18 why am I so high? -Kuru 2021
Was searchjng for this, just to say jeah same i ask myself every weekend 👌
@@enqui2813 weak, i ask this to myself every week
I think he treats it like a NFS game and it isn't like one it handles completely differently.
The reason this game was so good was the multiplayer, there hasnt been another game since MCLA that had such ease of access to so many modes and races, unfortunate that part of the game cant be revisited anymore
On Xbox you can still play multiplayer
@@ilikeeverything3699 Yeah but good luck finding a populated lobby
@@iElementGraphics yeah I wish a remaster could come out for this game
@@iElementGraphics just convince your friends to spend 15 dollars on the game. Worked for me
MCLA overrated? 😂😂. You trippin hard. Its literally one of the last true (if not the last) open world/tuning/street racing games. Graphics are pretty nice, great collection of cars, countless custom options, realistic damage model and even cockpit view, which i never saw in any street racing game. The general gamplay is great fun. I literally could play this for hours again just after watching this gameplay. But the complete edition is def the better version
Exactly. One of ny relatives gave me his PlayStation 3 2 months ago. I can't be grateful enough, Midnight Club Los Angeles is one of the best arcade races games of all time. And tuning and customization is better than in NFS 2016
🤡
Agreeed
Every other open world racer feels dead compared to MCLA. Even the Forza Horizon series. I actually feel the reset/rewind option in games is a negative because it can become a crutch. I always turn it off in every racing game that has it.
Finally someone said it , it’s the amount of pedestrians , they make the world feel more alive , even the city it self LA is probably the most identical to the real thing in video games history , the only con about this game is the lack of cars and customization “it wasn’t extremely bad “ but compared to MC3 it was kinda lame , the reason for that because the RAGE engine was still brand new and the capabilities of it weren’t as strong , so they really tried their best to make it look good , and there is a lot of Cut content like the R35 which was a new car back when this game released .
@@zrewioThe reason to have less cars than previous game its not about the engine, its about the San Diego development conditions and time, they created Midnight Club and Rage Engine at same time, making it have less time and job for Midnight Club Los Angeles which have a lot of concept and unused contents.
2020 Midnight Club L.A. Still better than many modern racers!
2021 Why I think Midnight Club LA is overrated
2022 The series should’ve been cancelled after the 3
Midnight Club Los Angeles is underrated not overrated.
For example Midnight Club 3 is classic and everyone is talking about it but I don't hear many people talking about Midnight Club Los Angeles.
MC1 - no one cares
MC2 - overrated and average game
MC3 - very good game
MC3DE - better, but underground climate gone somewhere and was replaced by Snoop Dogg ching ching style.
MC:LA - underrated, awesome game
MC:LACE - even better without throwing away underground racing vibe like MC3DE
MC:LA Remix: additional content from this game should be just a DLC for normal LA, because it's so good
MC1 - Fun game with questionable driving physics but a great atmosphere and soundtrack none the less.
MC2 - Best Midnight Club game just because of how good the driving, atmosphere, music and characters are.
MC3:DE - Decent Game but lacked a lot of what made MC2 special so in my opinion it's not as good even though it has actual vehicle customization and licensed cars.
MC3:DER - Better than the original MC3 just purely because it added Tokyo back into the game which is always a good thing as MC3:DE only had American cities which was a massive letdown compared to MC2.
MC:LA - Not a very fun game in my opinion purely because of how atrocious the driving physics are compared to all the other MC games (yes even MC1). The story was okay for the most part but having it only set in LA was one of the biggest let downs for me. Yes the LA in this game is way bigger than the one in MC2 but still I find having only one city to drive in for the entire game to get pretty boring.
MC:LACE - My feelings for this game are still the same as they were for the base game but the expansion which made the map slightly bigger was a welcome addition.
MC:LAR - This game I actually found to be more enjoyable than the actual LA game. The driving physics in this game are way better and seeing the map of LA from MC2 updated was neat as well. Tokyo was also nice as well but it's already being used twice before this game so another new city instead of Tokyo would of being better in my opinion but overall it was still enjoyable. The story is more streamlined in this version as well but it was still pretty decent for the most part but the complete lack of cutscenes in this version was a letdown.
@@TheOrangeMatty *No*
@@patrxgt9691 At the end of the day all of what I posted is my opinion and I do respect your opinion as well but that doesn't mean I agree with it.
@@patrxgt9691 what do you mean midnight club 1 and 2 are average?
Midnight Club 2 and 3 were peak racing games.
3 is the hardest racing game ive ever played but i love it
@@soren_prod It was kinda hard, but the gameplay is still simple though. I remember I'm being U.S. Champion without buying a new vehicles and just using what I got from tournaments
Peak *cough* Arcade racing games *cough*
Not better than the more realistic LA game.
@@thetechrealist But LA is still an arcade racing game
@@edgiest-edgelord-that-edges At least it doesn't look stupid like MC3. MC3 has like, a realistic style and Burnout gameplay.
This and mc3 remix are my favorite arcade racing games ever!! The occasional texture bug was literally the only problem. Other than that, it’s perfect, imo
It's weird watching him drive like this and criticise the game. I liked that this game didn't reward wall riding... the open world experience made it so difficult, every mistake meant something and forced you to learn the roads rather than have every thing handed to you. I will admit the bikes were broken but it was the same thing in mc3. If you couldn't progress in a car you'd get a bike...
Correct! The Kawasaki ZX-14 and Ducati 1098R's stats are done to compensate for their lower durability, being extremely risky as it is easy to fall off when you hit something at high speed, and it takes much longer to recover after a crash.

So what?
@@blakecooper669 Yes what
@@blakecooper669 idk furry, put 2 and 2 together if you have a brain cell or two
I remember playing this game when I was a kid. I'd go online with my crappy car and see all sorts of people modding it and having cars flying around and flashing with rainbows. Absolutely best experience for online randomness
lol same
Does anyone remember the Mustang in this game?
That car, no mater what upgrades you had, would ALWAYS be drifting and slippery.
It's fun for screwing around, but my goodness, you're playing an another level of difficulty using that car in races.
yeah, same when played nfs most wanted too, very hard to control, any US can confirm this, cus in my country rarely seen mustang
Which mustang? I've tried neither
@@kemosonicfan123lbp 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302.
Played it on ps3, on xbox360 and never seen those bugs with textures
Same lol
It is being played on an emulator, but even then, the game did stutter sometimes on PS3 and 360 (especially running from the disc, I dont remember if the PS3 you need to install the game, but on 360 it is optional). I played before but finished on Xbox One and it was way more smoother. Even if many games didnt take advantage of One X or Series capabilities or even you are running on the old Xbox One or Xbox One S, they still run a bit faster or equal than the original console.
Rockstar needs to bring back the Midnight Club games
This game isn't overrated, every game in this series is underrated, since I've only seen car fans and racing game youtubers even know about it.
The b r a h cutscene is easily my most favorite cutscene out of any game
you know you can let off the gas before a corner or brake.... right?
ugh seriusly. I see so many people complaining about the physics when they try taking turns at 100mph at full throttle. Compared to other racing games,, this game actually punishes you less for driving like the average forza player
Used to like 3 over all the midnight clubs but honestly I think this one has the best handling
Has different, less drifty mechanics but has its own learning curve. Just like 1, 2, and 3.
3 you can tune your handling to be more or less drifty. You can't do that here, whatever handling the car has that's what you're stuck with.
@@JCglitchmaster And I liked that about LA
Gotta work with what you have
@@JCglitchmaster Ok, you can't just tell your car if it will drift or not. It's an arcade game, all the vehicles in 3 slid around regardles.
@@JCglitchmaster you can tune the handling quite a bit by adjusting the wheel dimensions.
The tire width and profile have quite an effect on the handling of the cars.
Same for rim size too.
Large tire width and profile (sidewall thickness) gives you insane grip but you suffer with understeer and vice versa.
You can do this both in MC3 and MCLA. And it really helps a lot.
Next time you should play the game on Xbox one, it fixes most of the bugs and runs a lot smoother.
Ive been replaying this over the last 2 weeks or so and man.. I completely agree. I have nothing but fond memories from back in 2009 when I played this. I absolutely loved it - considered it one of my absolute favorite racing games. Coming back to it has been something of an awakening. Man. This game has some truly good aspects but then so so so many bad too. I love the customization and the accuracy of the map. Having been to LA many many times - seeing it in this game is/was pretty awesome.
But then there's the lack of a reset button absolutely killing races, the fucking rubberbanding ai making absolutely atrocious last minute comebacks. The obnoxious "rival" racers constantly talking. The annoying cops that don't really do anything but provide momentary inconvenience and waste your time.
People like to give it credit for graphics - and they really aren't THAT bad, but there's something about the color/saturation or something that makes it absolutely impossible to see traffic at times. Not to mention the texture pop in.
Its a good, but seriously flawed game. Definitely over rated too. Everyone seems to look back on it with rose tinted glasses. Myself included
I mean, that's Rockstar in a nutshell - the idea of the game is good, but reality isn't perfect. Oh, and the customization, Karol would say - "Bleh, Looks garish".
I bought it on Xbox Live a few weeks ago and still love it as much as I did back then. 🤷♂
That cbt made my day XD
Without context this comment is... interesting

7:49 you actually don’t need to jump down there, you can hit the finish line through the wall.
Real reason y I like the game was because of the all the modifications
The first ps3 game I ever played back in 2009.
MCLA is a good game for me, it has the best visual realism like the city feels alive. Pedestrians,rush hour traffic,and the depth of modification is still unbeatable. Love cruising around bcs i like the atmosphere,physics were not so realistic especially on high speeds
I'm surprised how many checkpoints Kuru misses despite playing this game many times, he should remember them now no?
Kuru: why am i so high
Me: stop doing crack you crackhead
Kuru really has it out against midnight club
Against L.A
LA unfortunately had a very troubled development. What is there is good, but you can tell there's not that much content overall and it could use a lot of polish. It is my favourite in the series, but I can't say it is the best due to all of its flaws. Still, it set a bar for car customization that I expect every single street racing game to meet now. And I actually find LA's handling model the most enjoyable out of the whole series. It sticks a nice balance between drifty and grip focused driving where racing lines and throttle control matters, and yet you can still do absolutely impossible turns.
What were the best cars for MCLA anyway?
You want trashy 2000's car mods as a standard? Are you high?
@@TheSultan1470 Being able to change body kits, customize wheels and rims, customize the interior and maybe add a widebody is a 2000's car mod?
Though I do prefer if the game gives you the freedom to create a tastefully modified car or an absolute disaster. It's really the player freedom that matters the most.
@@Arexion5293 ...most games have that.
I think the smartest car mod innovation was Blackbox's "Autosculpt" feature that was used in Carbon, Prostreet and Undercover. That to me was so cool, how you could use sliders to strech and warp selected parts of bumpers, spoilers, exhausts, entire body kits, rims or even the car's stock body to your preference. Don't like certain aspects of a particular aftermarket rim? Just autosculpt it! They even give you these template rims to play around with and make something completely unique. No preset rim sizes - completely dynamic.
Even when you're editing stock body parts, difusers and splitters could be brought out from bumpers with the use of this feature.
It was so much better than fitting the same generic race inspired bumpers to every car a la Underground. For example, in Undercover, the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG was featured. Since I didn't think none of the aftermarket kits were fitting to the car, I could adjust the car's stock body to accentuate certain curves or lines to my liking. Or for example, with the Aston Martin DB9, lower the corners of the rear bumper and drop down a diffuser in the center. Without applying an aftermarket one.
A true shame this feature was lost due to Blackbox being no more. I would love for another game to feature this modification of minute details in a car, such as trim design and colour/material.
@@TheSultan1470 I don't remember interior customization in most games. But indeed, otherwise nowadays this is basically the standard. Sort of, like how in Heat there were many vehicles with ridiculously limited options like the 90's NSX and R32. Having four body kit options per part on every vehicle at minimum shouldn't be too much to ask for nowadays when so many after mark parts exist. Maybe the developers should look into Japan's direction more. TXR games often had better options, since the developers were closer to the Japanese scene.
While the autosculpt was neat, Carbon and Prostreet had very limited bodykit options. Carbon only gave the same four singular body kits for all, but at least the widebodies were unique for all vehicles.. despite many of them just being packs of bodykits from the previous titles.
Just a heads up for everyone, but as of writing this comment, Midnight Club LA Complete Edition has been relisted for the Xbox Marketplace. So if you have an Xbox 360 or the newer consoles, here's your chance to get this game if you are keen to buying it!
It’s definitely one of my favorite racing games of all time. I think it’s perfect I wouldn’t say overrated in my opinion.
Personally this once my fav of the mid night club series.Sad it didn't get much love but man i loved the customization's
Is it just me o is Kuru a pro at crashing cars🤔🤔🤔
That shit with Annie saying brah killed me🤣
MCLA was great when it came out. This was pre Forza Horizon. Not many open world games were first person and third person. Plus the ability to share car designs. I looked for cars for hours back in the day.
I still play this game over horizon just because horizons traffic is so light.
The game is not overrated great game

Also, 8:52
5:02 "Rubber f***ing Band!"
The camera angle is too stiff IMO (MC games are designed like this on purpose)
MCLA:Remix is not as overrated compared to MCLA, in my eyes. More consistent physics, two maps with unique cars between them, very little feature disparity between the two titles (I.e. they have a virtually identical level of gameplay and car customisation). MCLA:Remix gets my vote every time
I wish i never came across with this video. A childhood game ruined because others think that every game must be perfect😔
That's a very juvenile mindset. Every single aspect of MCLA is downgraded from MC3 even down to the handling model and chase cameras, the game is clearly flawed. Obviously he's going to point this out, coming from an unbiased point of view.
Bro its not even him, its the fact that we are sooo picky on the littlest things. LOOK AT NFS GAMES!!!! Its a slow progress but they are trying to perfected. So just relax man.
@@Halagini Incorrect. MC3 is overrated.
This is the best game ever created. Underrated.
Fun fact : This game has a less size than MC3 (this game was 4+ GB while MC3 was 8+ GB)
Game size doesn't really mean much, today's gaming landscape should be proof of that. Im suprised that it is only 4 GB, it has a highly detailed and somewhat large represantation of LA and the cars while not as many as 3 still are quite detailed with lots of parts. Guess Rage is just built differently than Renderware.
That's very interesting. Didn't know that a 6th gen game has more than a 7th gen game with almost just as much content (especially in the customization)
@@mystic8380 I think MC3 have a larger size because it has sooo many videos (tutorial, rewards, and story), I remember I have MC3 without a videos file and it only 3+ GB
Seeing a file with just the file data, even the MC3Remix is around 3,8GB so no, it is not smaller than MCLA or Complete Edition. MC3R used a dual layer disc mostly because it was harder to pirate at the time, like most games that used DVD9 did. The only game I saw that made use of the added space of DVD9 at the time was God of War 2, it was in fact using more data and storing them on the second layer. MCLA Complete Edition takes around 6GB
I feel it was the multiplayer culture that really drove 3 and LA.
MC3 is the only PS2 game I've ever played online, it was 2008-2009 and it still had a tight knit community. You can find old videos on here still from those days.
LA slowly went from car culture and good times, to Saleen S7 spam and ramming, but that took years. I will admit it is not an easy game, I shattered a ps3 controller on my leg after repeatedly losing a championship. The bruise was gnarly.
This is my favorite racing game of all time and I wish for a new one
I mean i don't know but when there is a financial crisis around time you release something perhaps it gets a bit, less sales, still a shame though.
Don't agree on difficulty tho, i guess Midnigth Club 3 is probably overall hardest, but i only ever restarted a few times on harder races, while on MC 2 id be stuck up to 30 minutes to an hour, even if its just like... 3 races [opponents mroe like it]
MC3 was harder because this game was patched to be not as hard on the beginning
The handling in this game is so weird. It feels like it’s trying to be NFS but also isn’t at the same time
The short music stop at the end got me .. nice video as always
The Police Car Pack for this game was quite a game breaking inclusion. It was likely meant to be end game content but because the cars are already available at the start you can cheese pretty much every race. Just buy the Chevrolet Impala SS and you're smoking every race cause the perfomance of this car is nuts. Not just that but by driving a cop car the police will completely ignore you.
But the Ninja ZX-14 and 1098R are more vastly overpowered for their low cost, only having the stats at the expense of being more vulnerable to damage, and being very easy to fall off in a crash.
This game is better than nearly every racing game which has come out since
Nah this game is the bomb
Favorite race is sunset and vine and I used to farm that race on insane difficulty getting at least 100 k for the rest of the game before the 1 mil mission
Jesus Christ Kuru. If you would just use the fucking brakes instead of throwing your car at full speed around every corner you would come to realize that the cars actually have more grip than you think. MCLA is not a game where you can corner at full throttle.
Dude this game went out more than a decade ago, don't judge the graphics, back in those days it was incredible, even thou we all know graphics it's secundary on racing games, or maybe you praise NFS Heat who knows
Wait I’m actually better at a racing game than Kuru????
The older he becomes the more complaints we hear from him...
Well, he has to say something new when he's replaying the same game for the hundredth time.
12:05 The moment when the music cuts off at Kuru thinking when to come back xD
6:27 Kuru processing at the sound of NFS Carbon theme is the best thing
Rockstar is too busy with GTA online shark cards to bother remastering games.
Just play this version wtf
@@TheSultan1470 Fuck off. GTA IS NOT MIDGNIGHT CLUB.
The game is underatted almost nobody bought it
Still a good game, even if it's light on content compared to 3 and with the performance issues. Back in the day I got the texture bug that you had but then my 360 gave me the RRoD :(
I mean yeah, trees and pols don't punish you, but walls and traffic pubished even more. In my opinion this game was really hard, mostly because the cars are so slippery and on high speed you got punished for every mistake like going to fast into a corner.
Even if the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 and Ducati 1098R were extremely overpowered for their low price, i decided to stick with the high-priced exotics. The Murcielago DUB, being AWD drivetrain wins me even goal attacks.
If you wanted a harder version of MCLA, the day 1 version would be your best bet considering it is much more difficult to play with. It was so difficult in fact, that Rockstar had to patch it and make the game easier. The day 1 version doesn't have South Central along with some missing cars but it is preferred if you want a harder gameplay experience.
Midnight club cancelled soz. :/
I hope they bring midnight club 3 back on Xbox One and some remasters
I do not think it is overrated as it did not got remaster and many people ignore it
MC3 is way better than LA. The fact they didn't put the tuning from MC3 into LA was a massive let down for me.
This being said, it's still better than any modern racing game I've played.
You like trashy 2000's car mods?
No. MC3 is overrated.
The graphics not loading isn't the game. It's your Ps3/xbox 360 Hard drive
My mans be hating on the game over he doesnt pay attention and cant drive
As soon as I read your opinion I immediately discarded it as trash. Maybe you're just not into cars enough to appreciate the masterpiece that is this game, which is better than any racing game as of 2022 you could possibly name of the same Theme and genre.
@4:53 "I am so sure about that" *CRASHED* "faaak"

It's my favorite Midnight Club and racing game, solely because of cockpit view and how well it was executed. This is still the only game I played trough without changing camera view out of interior view. Of course Forza now days comes close but it's not the same.
Yep and I realised why... They make the entire Screen the Windshield, Forza etc. have like so much of the interior viewable at all times and such a small amount of visible Windscreen that it's almost unplayable 🤷
3 had the most adrenaline after 2, LA has the best customization hands down.
But it isnt over rated, 3 is definately when 2 was what set the standard.
3 is the balanced one, 2 had the best races and LA had the best tuning. that's just my opinion tho
For me this was the most enjoyable in the franchise, MC2 & 3 were rage inducing, although I would say that MC3 had the best content, especially the Dub edition
Playing it for the first time right now and love it
Why you thinking mc la is overrated kuru? Please answer me or i guess you answer it in this stream highlight video.
its not kuru writing the title Lol
@@FarhanSaid.... so who is he/she
It is javinitro or eden or it's actually kuru?
@@Jar3xe its the same guy who puts kuru's midnight club 2 video as nfs underground clone (even tho i dunno the guys is XD)
@@FarhanSaid.... so who upload the video?
the in games money cost more than cars insurance
I like the PSP version a little more
Damn it was uploaded 30 sec ago
I don't think it's overrated, but the fact that it can still be played on modern consoles means this is the only one most people will come back to who aren't into emulation. That being said, if R* ever decides to make more than one video game a century and revives Midnight Club, I hope they make it as fast as 3 was. MCLA is so boring for the first like 12 hours.
Grip is ok just admit LA has credible difficulty
