Is Midnight Club Los Angeles STILL UNBEATEN In 2023? Midnight Club LA in 2023 is still a fantastic open world racing game, and is still Unbeaten in several different areas when compared to racing games of today such as Need for Speed Unbound and Forza Horizon 5! Especially in terms of Gameplay!

Midnight Club Los Angeles in 2023 still prevails when it comes to world building and having a fantastic open world map. Free Roam in Los Angeles in Midnight Club LA feels Alive and full of life. From the jam packed city streets, to the mountain roads of North Hollywood, DTLA, and everything else in between. Midnight Club LA in 2023 still somehow has a better open world and free roaming gameplay than Need for Speed Unbound or Forza Horizon 5, and The Crew 2.

The Characters in Midnight Club LA also talk and act like real humans, which is a plus especially since characters like this are hard to come by in racing games of today. Midnight Club LA in 2023 has some of the best written characters of any racing game. Maybe this is because Rockstar made this game.

Perhaps I talk about this a little too much, but the Highways and Freeways in Midnight Club LA are the best in any free roam open world racing game. Even today in 2023. In Midnight Club LA the highways and freeways are jam packed with typical Los Angeles Traffic, the highways and freeways are wide and open, with HOV lanes and massive interchanges. The Freeways and Highways gameplay in Midnight Club LA feel super realistic and are still unbeaten by Need for Speed Unbound or Forza Horizon 5 even today in 2023! 15 years later!

I also love the highway racer system gameplay in Midnight Club LA, and I feel racing games such as Need for Speed Unbound and Forza should implement a similar feature gameplay wise. Especially in the free roam.

Overall, Midnight Club LA in 2023 is still a fantastic open world racing game experience and has aged super well 15 years later. In terms of gameplay and aging. It is also a massive shame how in 2023, Midnight Club LA is STILL unbeaten in several different areas. It shows how much racing games have stalled in the past decade when it comes to gameplay and other features such as police chases.

Police Chases in Midnight Club Los Angeles are pretty bare bones gameplay wise, but the cop chases in Midnight Club Los Angeles are super immersive when it comes to said gameplay. The Police mostly come after you in the free-roam, but can also chase after you in races. Not the best in terms of gameplay, as they often just spawn in front of you, but still adds to the charm of Midnight Club Los Angeles.

I've been playing Midnight Club LA on PC via the Xenia Xbox 360 emulator. Along with a patch to upscale the game to 2k and add 60 FPS. Making Midnight Club LA on PC Possible, and the best way to play Midnight Club Los Angeles.
