I can't be the only one who LOVED this game! I'm kind of sad we haven't seen a new game from Rockstar. I haven't loved a street racing game since I played this. The music curated in this game was great I hope we have something on this level with the new current gen consoles.

I fell in LOVE with this title. The Remix re-release was fantastic.
MC:LA was hot disappointing garbage and nothing like what MC3:DER was.

Never played MC3: Dub edition. Why was it so much better than MC:LA?
MC3 took place mostly at night. In a well crafted city. The cars and SUVS and pickups and variety of vehicles were amazing. The re-release Dub Edition REMIX added even MORE cars and music, too. The powerups were fun to use. It just was FUN.
MC:LA was trying to be LA, but the gameplay was way too unbalanced. Specifically with too many cops around the city. And you had to drive to events, so it was a pain in the ass dealing with trying to lose the police just so you could start a race.
And the powerups just felt too weak. Plus the trophy list was STUPID. The one for driving 100 miles on two wheels? Come on.
Plus, it has one of the worst designs in video games ever made.
An 'intelligent' difficulty. Basically, if you won, the game made the next race a little harder. If you lost, it got a little easier.
Smart, right? Except MC3 taught players to RESTART the race if you weren't winning. If you crashed, hit a wall, etc., restart the race and try again.
The MCLA difficulty never adjusted itself if you restarted. Meaning if you played MCLA with the MC3 style, the game quickly became IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT because the racers were all perfect and unbeatable. So you'd end up frustrated, restarting races over and over.
Thanks. Now you've sold me on wanting to play MC3:DE Remix.
I did the same. Customize my car and just ridding around! Good times!
Great game but I do feel MCLA is the better game. Both superb.
Both also had a wicked difficulty spike, too, although this was tackled with a later patch on MCLA.

I'd honestly say it's the best racing game I've ever played, slightly better than any of the other big arcadey franchises of the time (NFS, Burnout, PGR, etc). The motorcycle handling was so good.
I wish devs would proactively plan for licenses running out and architect their games so that they can swap out assets in a patch / remaster rather than delist games entirely.

Take two owns Rockstar, they now own codemasters. They can let a cooperation happen for a new midnight or a remake.
Midnight Club series (in general) was great. Whoever designed the tracks and city for the game was a genius. So many cool endings smashing through windows and going up escalators in malls.
Remember one vividly for mc2 where you'd do an insane jump and land in front on the Eiffel tower to finish a race.

Dub needs a complete makeover. It could be so incredible at filling a void of certain arcade racers that I feel haven't been around in a loooong time. I'd buy it day 1. I remember seeing a "new" Midnight Club being teased that turned out to be fake. Hurt my heart, because I got my hopes super high, lol.
Oh god this was my friends and I favorite game. We loved even just customizing cars making low riders to those esalade trucks on 32's. Good times!
I loved playing this game on the PSP. It was so perfect for playing on the go.
Rockstar really disappoints me. They used to make so many cool and unique games in the PS2 era. Heck even the PS3 era was great. Now though? One game and a remaster.
