Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is a racing video game, developed by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games. The game is available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PlayStation Portable. The game never had a PC version made for it. However, it can be played on the PC via emulators (such as PCSX2 Nightly for the PS2, Xemu and CXBX for the Xbox, and PPSSPP for the PSP).

Description[]

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is the third game in the Midnight Club series and the first in the series to feature licensed real life cars such as Cadillac, Chrysler, etc. Players can race in the cities of San Diego, Atlanta and Detroit. 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. In contrast to previous games, a physical representation of other racers cannot be seen, besides motorcycle riders.

Midnight Club 3 is also the first game in the series to feature vehicle modification , a feature which carried over into Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

Online[]

The game included an online mode, where players could race other players from all around the world. There were also many clubs available to join, or players could start and manage their own club.

Most offline race modes were available for play online and while in online mode you could chat in gameplay, including a revolutionary cruise mode, capture the flag, circuit racing, ordered racing, unordered racing, tag, paint and autocross. Tracks designed offline could be used online. As of late 2014, Rockstar announced the closure of the Online Services of many of their older games, with Midnight Club 3 being one of them and unfortunately, the game's Online Mode is no longer operational.

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix[]

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix is a re-released version of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition. It is available as a Greatest Hits release on PlayStation 2 and a Platinum Hits release on Xbox.

The game features all of the cities, vehicles, and music from Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition. This version of the game also allows the player to import the data on their memory card from the first version of Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, which saves players the worry of starting over. The following features were added in the re-release.

The soundtrack for Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition consists of 103 tracks of music in the main game, supplemented by 5 additional tracks in the PSP version and 25 additional tracks in the "Remix" version. Overall, there are 133 tracks across all versions of the game. It was considered to be one of the largest soundtracks in a videogame at the time.

Trivia[]

  • The next game, Midnight Club: Los Angeles continued to have licensed vehicles but it never partnered itself with the DUB Magazine.
  • DUB Magazine also had a toyline by Jada called DUB City.
  • Since its a street racing game, it mostly competed with Electronic Arts' Need For Speed: Underground and the less reviewed Street Racing Syndicate by Namco. However, both of the rivaling games were released in 2004, so Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition would compete against Need For Speed: Most Wanted, also by Electronic Arts.
