Once you guys hit the appropriate level, buy the Kawasaki bike, it's the fastest and best handling vehicle in the game, and it's only $17k.

Once you get used to dodging traffic (even moreso than before), you can smoke anyone. For example, I've got it basically stock, and I figured "What the hell" and did the Lambo Dub race series and beat it on the first try. This was about 1.5 hours after I had been playing around with the bike to get used to it, though. Keep in mind this race was on the Hard difficulty, and this was my first Hard race, so I felt pretty good about it. .
I think I managed to win that Dub Lambo in my Lancer Evo (the one above, except I upgraded it with all the top level parts so it was classified as an A class car)

Good stuff

I did that the other day, won the Murcielago and now just going through the missions. Can't wait until I can unlock the max level parts for the supercars, probably won't even be able to control 'em


Game needs more cars though, hopefully at least there will be DLC for it

Slick. I want that freaking Mustang Saleen Extreme, Ford GT or the z06. Theoretically, they can trash the Lambos. I'm just not a Lambo guy anymore though.

Ok, I learned something last night that's very important: don't drink while playing this game.

You know how your performance isn't altered much when alcohol is in your system for some games? Yeah, well, you need to stay sober when playing this one. I did so shitty last night it was silly.

Yeah I haven't really played many driving games drunk but I have played GTA 4 whilst pretty damn wasted. Basically It was surprisingly similar to how it is when Niko is drunk and the game models the feeling of being drunk so it's hard to drive, obviously it's not that bad, but surprisingly similar.

You just need more practice.

Yay DLC announced

US,  December 12, 2008 - Rockstar Games announced today that downloadable content for Midnight Club: Los Angeles is heading to the PS3 and 360. The South Central Upgrade Map will give players a new area of the city to explore, noted as being one third the size of the original game map. The press release explains that the new area will include L.A. landmarks like Exposition Park, the USC campus and Shrine Auditorium. This area will be free to download.

The press release continues on to announce that the South Central Content Pack can be purchased and will deliver new character competitions, races and even new music to the package. Unfortunately, no specific release or pricing information is outlined in the press release.

Sounds like the Map upgrade will be free, but the extra races and shit like that specific to the new area won't be free. Guess it's good, and I doubt it'll be that expensive anyway. I'll be getting it, still need to finish what I have so far though, curse my attention span

Still playing through the original. Got me a completely upgraded Ford GT, just trying to spank everything to get me an S7. I cannot control that ninja bike that's $17,000. I hit literally every car when I use it, so I just sold that bitch.

The GT is pretty slick, just as fast as the S7, just less accel obviously.

I find I have more fun doing the highway races. Actually races 1v1 or a circuit race is becoming BS now. I mean, how is it that the comp can t-bone another car and barely lose momentum, but if I clip a tree, it causes my car to flip (just an example). 200mph on the streets is just too much sometimes.

I've actually given up on the circuit races. I'm too tired of being 500 yards from a victory, only for some car to barely sideswipe me and my car flips over.

The speeds are just too fast and the traffic is too great to be able to take the time to check the mini map and see your next route.

Fuck it. I got the S7 last night, but I had to sell the GT to get it. Gotta wait and pimp it out completely before I can see if its an improvement over the GT.

Meh, I guess I just suck at this game.

It looks...okay. I'd rather get NFS: Undercover.
I'm sorry NFS:undercover?
Its the worst game after Soldier of Fortune Payback

I think 'Sydon said that before NFS:U was even out. Good thing you quoted him on that though, let that Jew him eat his words.

NFS:UC is decent game.  Worth the $60 pricetag?  Of course not, but it's not nearly as hard as LA.

I've been rethinking about getting this, or getting GameFly and renting it.

Yup, for some reason I find the cars impossible to control outside of the in-car view (the proper one), it only seems to do what I want it to do when I can see the steering wheel etc..

But that just adds to immersion

I'm nearing the completion of the game, I don't get why people say it's so hard, it's way easier than Motorstorm (both of them) - Harder than Burnout Paradise, but any game ever is harder than Burnout Paradise

cockpit view = only way to play the game

As for viewing your car, I think you can link your PSN ID/Gamertag to a Rockstar Social Club account (http://www.rockstargames.com/midnightclubLA/) and look it up from there.  (AFAIK, I'm not completely sure though)

Only things I don't like are it seems to go from dawn to night, no day time, or is it just me?
