With the game speeding towards an October 7 release, Rockstar has rolled out a new trailer for its latest underground street racer, Midnight Club: Los Angeles. In case you were wondering what an open world racer with an ... open world on the level of GTA IV would be like, this (ahem) fast and furious footage is your answer. And, if you're watching this between 12am and 1am PST, it's also incredibly appropriate.
It's interesting to see Rockstar San Diego fleshing out the story aspect of this sequel, right down to seeing your character behind the wheel during races. Although it's definitely the complex world detail matched with the pedigree of this series that really gets our motors running.
Then I'm guessing you missed out on the awesomeness that was NFS: Most Wanted. Probably my favorite racing game of all time. Why'd they have to screw it up with Carbon (which was still enjoyable) and then ProStreet?
I _loved_ MC2 but didn't really get into MC3. This looks arcadey, but VERY ugly compared to Burnout and PGR4 and other similar racing games. Hopes dropped down a little more :(

I usually don't like arcadey racers like MC, but this looks really good, actually.

Is it just me, or does the 'main character' guy look like Brucie Kibbutz, if his steroids were replaced by Ritalin?

I can't wait to get this and Undercover. I'll finally have some Racing games on my consoles.

I can't see the video. Then I click on the source and it sows up as error.
