Midnight Club 3 is on track to deliver its trademark arcade street racing with a little more style with the Dub Edition.
The Midnight Club series and its arcade-style street racing has developed a strong following (historically, the first MC was a PS2 launch game) fortified by a sequel that featured online gameplay. For the third Club game, the developers have teamed with Dub magazine, a publication that specializes in car customization...make that, hip-hopification."Dubs" refer to the 20-plus-inch chrome rims and spinners you see all over the streets these days. With the Dub edition, every facet of you car can be changed or enhanced--from the tailpipes to the window tint shade. MC3 also expands the lineup of vehicles with muscle cars and more motorcycles. Using this mammoth archive of licensed vehicles, racing takes place in three American cities--Detroit, San Diego, and Atlanta--all chosen for their street racing popularity.
The warehouse of custom-made parts comes in handy because cars can take damage during a race, albeit without any effect on their handling. A play of an early version of the game proved that the series will remain faithful to its arcade, step-up-and-play roots as it certainly didn't lack speed, and the controls were more or less responsive depending on the car you drove.
In the online realm, the game will enable up to eight wannabe racers to burn rubber on the Xbox and PlayStation 2. The game's undergoing constant tuning, so Midnight Club 3 could be one smooth ride when it's finished.
