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.
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.
