@@Victor_2000s Ok so whats your point the mechanics, physics were overrated, it realy had no story probably the only game I could compare to NFS and nfs wins What's your point
@@Victor_2000s Here's another and more of a professional opinion Fast forward to 2023 I tried the game out about an hour ago. First of all I'm not a graphics snob, I'm completely fine playing an old game as long as the style is good. This game looks like Wheelman got burnt. (Yes I checked the brightness setting). This game is so dark and dingy with the game being saturated in all the wrong areas. The lens flare made me question if there was something wrong with my monitor. The sun looks grey in this game same as everything. If you've ever played Battlefield 3 and been disgusted with the blue or green tinge, this game is you're worst nightmare. Aside from the game not really holding up. I thought the old games did there vehicle handling ten fold better. I'm not trying to be some old boomer vying for the good old days. Man every time I took a corner to drift the game does that nauseating hyper zoom on the rear windshield. Every car felt like it had water sloshing around the trunk making for frequent spinouts and an even worse time getting out of a jam. I thought this game was stinky. Similar to a moldy stuffed animal you have fond memories of, but just needs to be forgotten about and thrown away before if makes you ill. Now that I've laid into this game for disappointing me feel free to lay into me and tell me your thought on this. After this is just my opinion
This game is what made me love cars and know all kinds of cars and parts, huffffttt the beautiful childhood will never return to those days. I can't believe it's been 23 years, thank you content creator for bringing me back to that time🙌🏻🔥
@@Jeyghzly Thanks for watching. It's crazy to think it's been that long. More videos to come from this time period. Back when making a fun game was the primary goal of developers.
I can't tell you how many memories this game triggers! I was hooked on this game when I was eight! I spent hours after school, on weekends and holiday breaks playing this along with many others such as the early Need for Speed games, Burnout games, Forza, etc. It takes me back to my grandparent's house and I would bring the console along with a few games from home and my brother would hook it all it for me in the guest room and I'd just to go town on this! The graphics were great for the time, the selection of cars was healthy, and you can choose different cities to drive in as a bonus. But the background music, the sound effects, and the visual checkpoints all trigger those wonderful memories of being a 2000s kid. The best time that can never be relived. It will be missed especially nowadays with how wacko the world has become. Take me back to 2006 please!
It is crazy how powerful these memories are. That's the main reason I mostly play retro games modded to be slightly more modern. Nice channel, by the way; a mix of diecast and real cars.
@@Shinobi_Vii I have a question that needs to be verified. Is this game backwards compatible? I currently have an Xbox 360 and would love to play this game on it if possible.
One of the beauties of being a kid when this came out is a GS430 with Lexanis and a chrome grill is STILL “brand new” to me, and I could build a DUB one for 1/3 of the price of a new Ford Fusion. Every car in this game still seems new and cool to me.
@JAMESYQ24 I was thinking about something similar recently. I remember playing Gran Turismo 1 as a kid thinking an '89 car was so old, but in a 2024 game that's the same as a 2016 car.☠️

I still to this day say and argue that Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Remix is the best PS2 racing game of all time! I put thousands of hours into this game and know all routes to all the hardest races by heart.
Those last few intense seconds of the race when you’ve finally managed to pull ahead, was always so intense, hands sweat, tunnel vision…and the manny fresh comes on to let you know you got the W lol dam I miss the days and many nights…
My man thank you 🙏, I appreciate you doing this and uploading it, brings so many memories w me and my older brother in the garage 2am playing this ❤️🫶🏻🙏🙏💯💯
Bro this is one of my favorite racing games of all time, if not my favorite. I really wish that Rockstar would make a new Midnight Club game, it’s been way too long.
Cutting across fields and parking lots, blasting nitrous, hitting jumps and the camera shows the side of your car until you land, missing the checkpoints having to go back. It’s so awesome🔥🔥🔥
really wish we could go back in time and play this game for the first time again. such an amazing game for its time and we will never get anything like it again
People and new generation have to realize this game was way ahead of its time. Simple things like pedestrians walking while you’re racing lol. Tell me a recent nfs or racing game that still does this. It was just more effort in its era.
been playing this on my ps2 and on my modded psvita, so glad to see this remastered. The classic AMG’s on this game go so crazy, Cl55 , Cls55 and the SL55. The gemballa too
Life back then was just fast and more fun. No phones with apps and all. Everything was in the forefront which made life seem soo much more vibrant then as now.
Man that starting title song brings back so much memories I miss these type of games , wish rockstar can bring back something similar or a remake just for all us old gamers and new as well

Sadly that can't happen, mostly of the old developers from Angel Studios/ Rockstar San Diego who developed MC game get out from Rockstar and Take Two only have interest to milking GTA franchise while the others games (except for Read Dead) never got a sequence.
Please tell us your config. Have you set yours to 300% overclock? If yes, did you do it in the PCSX2 Settings or the Game Properties? Unfortunately, the 60 FPS patch speeds up the game, which means the Opponents are sped up, too.

Winning the club races in the early part or middle part of the story pays less, and may be more challenging than post-game, typically, always save the Muscle, Luxury or SUV and even the bike clubs until after becoming US Champion to maximize payouts, and the club races are easier post-game, especially with max upgraded Class B vehicles. Of those club rewards, only the Skyline and Four-Twelve had the most use during the main story.

These companies don’t have the hunger no more because they are millionaires they will just release a shitty glitchy game
Haha so true . Also it’s because they take their kids to work in their companies and those kids are nothing close to art elites
