Rockstar produces a high-quality, if slightly frustrating, street racer.

by Robert Workman on Sunday, October 26, 2008

Midnight Club: Los Angeles is a great addition to Rockstar's high-octane street racing series. It shifts the action to LA, with no shortage of things to do (online and offline) and plenty of rides to acquire. The difficulty is steep at times, to the point where you'll restart lots of races. Once you get the hang of it, the game really shines. The real-time visuals look marvelous, with dozens of realistically rendered streets. The sound is good, with adequate racing tunes and dialogue. However, you'll really dig the option of outrunning cops and keeping up with your rival makes this one revved up adventure that Midnight Club never runs out of gas.
