Current Best Racer on PSP,
While the latest PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Midnight Club have gotten the most attention, this LA Remix version will please PSP fans looking for some hot, wild racing on the go.
This version in fact adds a second city, Tokyo, which you unlock in career mode after mastering LA.
LA Remix also has ad-hoc wireless racing for up to four players.
In short, at $40, this version of MC probably gives you the most bang for your buck.
And did I mention how good the game looks on the PSP’s bright little screen? Beautiful — and the cars handle wonderfully as well.
What cars are here? Tuners including a Pontiac Solstice and Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged. Muscle cars past and present, like a ’69 Mustang Boss 302, a ’70 General Lee, and the new Camaro. Plus exotics like the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster, the Ford GT and Shelby Cobra, a brace of Lambos, and a Saleen S7. No Ferraris or Bugattis, unfortunately…
There are shortcuts and multiple routes… cop chases and interference… wild power-ups and air time… and your car takes damage — too much, and the race is over!
The long and short is — there’s tons of fun for PSP fans here. Highly recommended!

|Decent racer but lacks excitement and good AI,
The gameplay here is very similar to Test Drive Unlimited (or maybe it’s the other way around): you drive around L.A. (and later unlocked Tokyo) looking for street races and earn cash and reps by winning them. The graphics, however, feels old, ‘cuz the game is already several years stale. I have a hard time telling where I am going because the pixels are too big. The controls are strictly arcade which is fine by me but the enemy AI is totally uneven. Anyway, the biggest problem again is the low-res graphics which makes seeing where you’re going difficult thereby making the gameplay more frustrating than necessary.

|Best Racing Game on the PSP!,
Midnight Club: LA Remix is the best racing game on the PSP. Even better than the new Gran Turismo game on PSP. Midnight Club: LA Remix is also perfect even if you’re not that big of a racing game fan as much as it is perfect for racing game fans.
There are so many things to do on Midnight Club: LA Remix.
- Free Roam around 2 Huge Maps of Los Angeles, CA, USA and Tokyo, Japan.
- Tons and tons of Exterior Customization from tons of body parts, rims, license plates, etc.
- Tons and tons of Interior Customization from tons of seats, steering wheels, gauges, etc.
- A 24 Hour Day/Night cycle, so the time of day is constantly changing
- Weather effects from clear and sunny weather to cloudy weather, rain, etc.
- A huge ammount of cars in all different types from Tuners, Muscle cars, Exotics, etc.
- There are also Motorcycles where you can pull wheelies and do stoppies, with tons of customization like the cars.
- All of the Cars and Motorcycles are real life, licensed vehicles like Lamborghini, Kawasaki, Ford, Chevrolet, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, and more.
- Dynamic Police that chase you if you run a right light or go past the speed limit. You can then also lose the cops. However, you can then also get pulled over and arrested.
- More customization like a vinyl editior (like in Forza 2) where you can create any image and overal vinyl you want using various shapes, letters, and numbers. Example like a “The Dark Knight” car, the McDonalds logo, etc.
So, if you are a racing game fan or not, whoever you are, if you have a PSP get Midnight Club: LA Remix!
