Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition review

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is the open-city racer for collectors with a budget to match. Rockstar's game page calls it the return of the series that took racing from closed tracks to the urban streets, with rims, trims and upgrades for your ride and races through traffic at speeds of over 250 MPH. Rockstar San Diego developed it, and Rockstar dates the release to April 11, 2005, on PS2, Xbox and PSP, with Mild Language and Mild Violence as the rating descriptors. Customization covers both style and performance, which puts it closer to Underground 2 than to Midnight Club II. The reason it ranks last is cost: DKOldies lists a used disc at $76.99 before sales, the highest regular price on this list, and the official page gives few countable details on cars or cities. If you want the Midnight Club style for less, Midnight Club II costs $23.99.
