Midnight Club 3:DUB Edition is an amazing games with one fatal flaw: load times. They can last over a minute, which is incredibly boring. To add insult to injury, you have to load anytime you go to and from the garage, the levels, and the races, which is usually every couple minutes. Have a TV or a computer nearby, as 1/3 of your playing time will be waiting to play.
Anyway, the first day I got this, I stayed up all night playing it. The customization aspect of the game is awesome: you can everything from tuning up your car to adding flashing neon lights to multiple layers of paints and metallics to custimizing you liscence plate.
Graphics - 90
The visuals are amazing for an early PSP game. You can see reflections in the streets and cars. The cars (that you drive, not the randomly generated populous) are very high quality, but there are some small flaws in the models, but nothing major.
Sound - 80
The sound isn't amazing, but it is good enough. There are a few different crash sounds and tire screeches, but the meat of the game is the visuals and driving, which is handles well in my opinion. The soundtrack has lots of songs, most is hip-hop, rap, and dance hall. There is some rock and alternative thrown into the mix, too.
Gameplay - 95
The handling and controls in MC3:DE aren't hard to pick up and are easy. Racing is pretty fun, especially with multiple nitrous injections and using 'Zone' (kind of like bullet-time for cars;works very well). The AI is good in this game. In the beginning, they are very easy,(duh) but increasingly get smarter, but not too fast or too slow (like other games). When not in race mode, and you are just cruising around, you can find silver Rockstar (the developer) Logos for added unlockables. There are a lot of unlockables; most of them are new rims oe decals, but you will get better car classes and higher level performance parts every now and then.
Overall - 90
The amount of material they fit (3 HUGE cities, over 30 (I'm estimating) detailed cars and motorcycles, wireless playibility, extra modes (Arcade, Grafitti, etc..) and more) onto a tiny 1.7 GB disc is amazing. Though the load times are a pain, I DEFINATELY reccomend this game.
