I can play that, hallo.

It's nothing like the handling in GTA, it's a crackling little game.

I've got both. 

The car modding on MC is hilarious. I've a gold glitter sprayed low rider with zebra skin bonnet. 

PIMP.

I'm just downloading it, 6.15gb, not sure how long this'll take!

...7%

Jesus wept, I won't be playing this tonight!

Iain said it was, what does the Complete Edition consist of?

I think it's just the South Central DLC, which adds quite a big area and events to the city.

I've just looked...

Midnight Club: Los Angeles Compete Edition has everything that came included in the original jam-packed release of Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and also includes:

The South Central Map Expansion - Adding an entire extra 1/3 of Los Angeles territory to the already massive in-game map. Four distinct neighborhoods: Baldwin, Crenshaw, Exposition and Huntington - filled with such iconic landmarks as the USC campus, Shrine Auditorium, and Crenshaw Plaza.

The South Central Premium Upgrade - 9 new licensed vehicles including classic lowriders like the '64 Impala and mean luxury SUVs like the Range Rover Supercharged, plus a ton of new races, battle maps, delivery missions, red light races, vinyl packs, new aftermarket parts and new music.

South Central Vehicle Packs 1 & 2 - Hit the streets with 7 additional licensed vehicles: The Aston Martin DB9, Audi S5, Cadillac XLR V, Ducati 1098 R, Mercedes CL 65, Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.

The handling doesn't feel that different to GTA!

I suppose it will improve when I start getting better kit and sprucing up what I've already got...

I seem to remember spending a lot of time looking at the side of my car with GTAIV's chase cam. Bonnet cam was essential.

Birdorf, I could kiss you. It's been out of stock so I went to Zavvi, their procrastinating has meant I can cancel and buy from ShopTo and get it by Wednesday.

I wish I hadn't bothered, Burnout Paradise is better...

It's totally different.

Picked, packed and sent by ShopTo within five minutes, whilst Zavvi had failed to do anything of note for the 18 hours I had MC sat in their system, and for four pound less.

Is anybody else having issuses with Social Club? Midnight Club LA isn't showing up as being played and I hope it's not a side effect of getting this via GoD...

I've realised what it is that dilutes my enjoyment of 'street racer' games, it's the lack of any attempt at some degree of realism.

Do you want to cut this 90º corner?

Yes

No problem then, just go ahead.

But what about the lamposts, concrete benches and the flight of steps not to mention the kerbstones?

Meh.


I think I would enjoy these more if you had to stick to the road or the shortcuts had to be taken at a speed that would be suitable, yes by all means cut through the shopping mall but hitting a kerb at 90mph with 20" rims wouldn't see you make it to the doors let alone out of the other side. Perhaps that's why Burnout Paradise has been my favourite, because while racing there was the chance of wrecking your vehicle...

I prefer the realism, give me a seized BRM16 from over-revving over a streetbound, hurtling Jap import any day!

That said I do enjoy a good blast about town but like I said earlier it is Burnout Paradise that filled this gap for me. I don't think I'll bother with Forza's effort as if I'm going to go down this road I would rather do it with Most Wanted...
