The series recently turned 3 with the release of Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, a coming of age that has been stretched into a near-exact PSP port of the same game. There are no guns, no merciless killings, no hookers to be slapped, just straightforward arcade racing fun with real-world cars and real-world customizations. They bleed with a style reminiscent of the hit film The Fast and the Furious - although with less crime involved.
MIDNIGHT CLUB 3 DUB EDITION SOUNDTRACK CODE
While based on street racing – yet another illegal activity being emulated in a Rockstar game – each game in the series has sat with a lovely E rating (and will hopefully stay with such ratings, lest a Hot Coffee-style easter egg be ripped from the code by an attention-seeking, hex-editing geek). Now they can’t be all that bad, can they?Ĭase in point: The Midnight Club series. The Christian right condemns them completely, blames their rise on the doings of Satan. Crusading, perhaps opportunistic lawyers (the word “opportunistic” being placed before “lawyer” is a little redundant, is it not?) unleash fresh salvos upon the developer almost on a monthly basis.
The guys at Rockstar have fielded blame for everything from petty theft to multiple murders, all connecting back to the fact that the perpetrators owned the games. This, and a range of other violent romps including two GTA sequels and an especially maniacal title by the name of Manhunt, cemented Rockstar’s reputation as the most controversial videogame developer on the planet. Grand Theft Auto III was so shocking, even those completely unfamiliar with the state of the gaming scene would knowingly cringe at the mention of any single aspect of the game. Guns, killing, hookers, stealing and more, all rolled into one devious (demonic?) package – finally, the early '90s were no longer the era for uninformed pundits to dredge up. Sorry, Midway and Id a new Big Boy is in town: Rockstar Games. Upon the release of Grand Theft Auto III, the media bid its final, belated farewell to the offensive antics of Mortal Kombat and Doom.
