Game Overview

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition - three-dimensional adrenaline arcade race, where illegal racers drive through the streets of metropolitan areas and fight for a place under the sun.

Game genre

Critics usually divide car and racing games into two genres:

Arcade. Futuristic arcade races developers love sci-fi and effects, they try to squeeze the maximum out of the games: crazy flights, explosions, crashes and outrageous overtaking. Realistic. The developers of realistic races try to imitate life and make driving as realistic as possible, they create simulators. Skids, speeding, braking - everything must correspond to reality.

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition does not betray the tradition of dynamic arcade: unforgettable control on the turns and spectacular accidents - the metal parts fly apart like confetti at a children's party. The player will be able to literally attack the opponent: cars of opposing racers become uncontrollable and crash into nearby concrete fences. It is possible to ram and hit with a shockwave. When the player overtakes another racer he is given a bonus instant acceleration.

Gameplay

San Diego, Atlanta, and Detroit are three open cities in which you can move freely. People walk the streets and can easily get run over by a drunken racer mad about breaking up with the girl he loves. Wide and comfortable streets are eager for hot engines to roll down them. Not everywhere is eight lanes provided for the racer - the tracks differ from each other:

Narrow cobblestone streets in the historic center
Single-lane traffic in business districts
Sandy roads in parks
Beautiful bridges over wide rivers
Unfinished roads with signs

Shaking, blurring, sparks, fire - the visual effects are top notch. When this is shown on the screen, the player immediately begins to count how much it will cost him to repair his favorite car. An impressive destruction system is one of the strengths of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition.

What about the car fleet? Licensed car brands in the garage:

Lamborghini Murcielago.
Lotus Elise
Cadillac Escalade
Hummer H2
Dodge RAM SRT-10

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is inferior in gameplay to Need For Speed Underground 2, but overtakes Juiced. Interesting career mode, cool visuals and fantastic effects make you open the game again and again.
