Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is a racing game, developed by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games, and is the third game in the Midnight Club series. Like previous installments in the series, the game is an arcade-style racer and focuses on wild, high-speed racing, rather than realistic physics and driving characteristics. The name derived from a partnership between Rockstar and DUB Magazine, which features heavily in the game in the form of DUB-sponsored races and DUB-customized vehicles as prizes.
Players race through San Diego, Atlanta, and Detroit listening to 75 licensed tracks that include hip-hop to rock. The game features a number of graphical enhancements over previous installments, such as "speed smear", enhanced lighting effects, and the inclusion of flying debris and particles coming into view after the player crashes into certain objects, or travels across particular stretches of road. There is also the ability to customize a player's vehicle. Other than modifying the external looks, the car's/truck's performance can also be improved, except for those in the 'A' Class of the game. However, Class A motorbikes performance can be improved.
Plot
The player starts out in San Diego talking to Oscar the mechanic who will guide the player through the game. As the player advances by winning races, he will unlock new parts, paint jobs, customisation options, and cars. Thus beginning with a not so expensive middle speed car. There are 7 types of cars: Tuners, Luxury Sedans, SUVs, Exotics, Muscles, Sport Bikes, and Choppers. As the game continues, different groups will invite him to race. If the player beats them they show him their tricks. Also, as the player progresses, he unlocks the remaining 2 cities. Once the player beats up to 96% percent of the game, there will be two things left a racer and a tournament once the player beats the game by doing both races he ends up back at Vince's garage.
Gameplay
There are 3 types of illegal racing in the game. In the ordered race, must face off against multiple other racers, and drive through checkpoints, represented by Yellow/Orange flares (apart from the finish, which is red) and eventually reach the finishing line. Circuits are similar, except the player must complete a certain number of laps. In unordered races, there are checkpoints once again, but they can be collected in any order before getting to the finish. This means the player must find the best order to collect the checkpoints. There are also the legal autocross races, where the track is laid out with no traffic, pedestrians, or police and the open environment is taken away, as the streets are blocked in with barriers. The player must then complete the laps in the quickest time possible, usually having to beat a set time. The track events are the same, but you compete against other racers instead of against the clock. This can mean crowded, compact streets and your car will probably take more damage than a normal race.
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is also the first game in the series to include modification of cars. By winning races, the player unlocks new cars and options to customise them with. These options include enhancing the performance, adding vinyls and new paintjobs, and physically modifying the car, by changing parts such as wheels, bumpers, spoilers and hoods.
Online mode
This game includes an online mode, where players can race other players from all around the world. There are also many clubs available to join, or players can start and manage their own club.
Most offline modes are available for play online, while in online mode you can chat in gameplay, including a revolutionary cruise mode, capture the flag, circuit racing, ordered racing, unordered racing, tag, paint and autocross. Tracks designed offline can be used online.
