Pimp my price point Sleek sports cars are all very well, but sometimes you need a bit of a change.
We're a bit disappointed they left in the two songs by crazy old homophobe Beenie Man, but there you go. You can expect new tracks from the likes of Sean Paul, Lady Sovereign, Bloc Party, The Game and even the Stereophonics (er, yes, because Welshmen singing rubbishy old soft rock is exactly what we want to hear whilst zooming round futuristic cityscapes at 145mph).Īll right, so new songs aren't all that exciting, and certainly not enough to make a game worth buying, but, you know, it's nice they made the effort. The final extra in MC3: Remix is the addition of 25 more songs to the soundtrack. Course, you can't play on them, or drive any of the new vehicles, if you're racing against opponents who only have the original MC3 - but if everyone's got Remix, all of the new content is accessible. The basic event types are the same - Capture the Flag, Tag, Paint and Ordered Race - but you get a decent batch of new maps to choose from. MC3's online mode has also been given an overhaul.
Rub-a-DUB In third place with the finish line in sight - it's going to be a close one. Plus, you can drive any cars you obtain in Tokyo Challenge in the US cities of the main game. There are also new cars from Cadillac, Dodge and Infiniti, and naturally, they can all be customised and tuned to your heart's content. They include all manner of sports cars, bikes, SUVs and the like - such as the Pagani Zonda, the Chevelle SS, the Lamborghini Diablo and the Ducati Paul Smart 1000. But have no fear if you'd rather get behind the wheel of something newer and shinier, since there are 24 new vehicles to drive in MC3: Remix. Happily, all Memory Card data from the original MC3 game is transferable to Remix - which means you can choose from any of your old favourites when taking on your new Tokyo opponents. You're much better off getting a bit of practice in with the main game's Career mode, unlocking a load of faster vehicles as you go - indeed, some of the Tokyo events are only open to those who already own cars of the required spankiness level. However, since MC2 was almost impossibly hard, you might not have got as far as unlocking Tokyo in which case you'll be grateful for the fact that MC3: Remix lets you select Tokyo Challenge the very first time you see the main menu screen.īut don't expect to jump right in and start winning race after race if you're a newcomer to the Midnight Club series, or if you've only got the default set of vehicles to choose from. New for old It's not just new cars you get to play with in MC3: Remix.īut while it's a whole extra city, it's not quite a whole new city, at least not if you've played Midnight Club 2 - in which case you'll recognise the neon-lit streets instantly. Basically, you get a whole extra city to explore in the same way as those in the original game - you view available races on the city map, select the one you want, make sure you've got the right car for the job, then zoom on over to the appropriate check point to get racing. The main attraction of MC3: Remix is without a doubt the new Tokyo Challenge mode. For a more thorough overview, you're best off taking a look at Kristan's original review. The things we liked about MC3 - decent visuals, stupidly fast speeds, a solid online mode, that sort of thing - are all present and correct as, of course, are the things we didn't. Let's focus on those extras rather than the main game itself, since nothing has changed there once again, you get to cruise through the night-time cityscapes of San Diego, Atlanta and Detroit, choosing your own route through races, earning cash, unlocking new car classes, and generally pimping all manner of rides. Yes, MC3: Remix is cheaper than the original game at just £19.99 - but you actually get more for less money.
#MIDNIGHT CLUB 3 DUB EDITION REMIX XBOX ONE PS2#
It's been almost a year since Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition hit the shelves, and seeing as the game topped the charts back then it's hardly surprising that it's getting a re-release on both PS2 and Xbox at a lower price point.īut what is a little surprising is that Rockstar hasn't opted simply to repackage it in a Platinum-branded box and slap a different price sticker on top.
