Back when Need For Speed was the undisputed king of the arcade-style racing games (and Forza Horizon wasn’t a thing yet), Rockstar’s Midnight Club series was the little brother that was pretty good at just about everything NFS did, but not great (and with no licensing). Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition was a valiant effort to change all of that. Boasting a loaded library of licensed cars and aftermarket parts, (mostly) real locations, and one hell of a soundtrack, MC3 definitely went all in to usurp the king. While it ultimately fell short for a number of reasons (one of which, I thought, was that the use of real locations stifled some of the creative leeway level designers could employ), MC3 is a great game with plenty of replay value…but Need For Speed and its Underground series (which includes the first, and best IMO, Most Wanted) was just too much to overcome.Read full review

I decided to buy this game because I owned it before, on the Playstation 2 system. This, in my opinion, is one of the best. I appreciate the challenges of races, as well as the ability to amass wealth and an @ssload of cars. Also, with the Remix version you get to travel to Tokyo. So that, in and of itself, is pretty freakin' sweet. The cities are pretty realistic looking (though nothing, of course, can really match what the PS3 and XBOX360 are doing), and the cars get crazy fast. The game offers a high level of detail as far as tricking out your cars, cosmetically. Changes can be made to the following: Paint job (from basic matte colors all the way to customizable chameleon paint), window tint color, rim color and the rim itself, hood material, neon, hydraulics...hell, you can even pick out your own tire tread on your sportbikes and motorcycles. I wish that for the sportbikes and motorcycles you were able to customize your rider, but not so. For mechanic nuts, this may not be the game for you as it really doesn't allow you to tweak individual things under the hood (it only provides the option for an engine upgrade). But you do get to increase the "stats" for things such as chassis, suspension, sway bars etc. You can change the tire width and height, as well. The soundtrack is pretty good; there is a variety of musical genres to choose from...ranging from hip-hop/rap to house/dance/electronica to alternative/rock. All in all, the game has my vote.Read full review
This is a really good game to add to your collection. If you love racing games or just love the whole "DUB" scene this game should meet your expectations. I'm really into the car scene and have my fair amount of racing games in my Xbox collection, but i would rate this one in the top 3 for me. The cars are excellent, the races are pretty good and the upgrades are pretty crazy. It's well worth it, much better than the regular Midnight Club 3 too. Don't buy that one, buy this one...the DUB edition! You'll be thankful. The game does a good job of keeping you hooked. You'll wanna keep racing for money to upgrade that new whip! The game play is really good. The seemingly unlimited amount of upgrades add to the excitement. This game also has more cars than the regular Midnight Club 3 does. The music is another good thing, it features many really good songs (if you really like rap and don't mind a little rock). I usually play with the speakers turned up, it makes it much more exciting for game play (so if u do have a speaker system, be sure to use it!) Be sure to get this game if your looking at getting it! Skip over the renting it, you'll want this game from the first game play. It's a good game!Read full review
Other than it only supporting 480i (which they considered HD back in the day lol, look at the back of the case ice ouve bought it😂) it is still one of the greatest racing games of all time. No regrets on this purchase.

I give this game 4.2 of 5.0. The graphics and gameplay are great. The ability to race sport bikes, choppers, and SUVs is new and very fun. No other game offers this feature. There are alot of neat customization features from chopping tops, hydraulics, airbags, and even license plate modification. Good value for $15. The Cons of this game are the lack of more songs, overpriced items like $5000 for nitrous, the cars' exhausts sound the same, and the frustration of a hummer H2 keeping up with a Ducati SS1000 is imaginary. Even a Honda 250cc would burn a Hummer H2 without trying. Some of the cars are just ugly like the concept dodge Charger and why is there no FORD vehicles? It needs more sportbike selection say a Suzuki 750cc/Honda 929cc, etc. Burnouts need more tire smoke!!!!Buy it if you like arcade racers. Much better than PGR, and even NFS.Read full review
