I'm not a big racing fan but this one has my interest. I'm going to wait for the reviews to come out, but this is a buy if its anywhere north of an 8. Being able to race around my hometown in a game made by rockstar is all I really need to get into it.

So, finally got this in my rental queue yesterday, and I couldn't be more disappointed.

The controller layout sucks, but that could be fixed with one simple patch.

The game is highly disjointed, there's little continuity, and you don't feel like you're evolving through the game.

There's no sense of speed. According to the spedometer, as soon as I get through the first intersection I'm going over 50 mph, but it feels like about half that, meaning you feel like the car peaks at about 70.

It seems like Rockstar paid much much more attention to the storyline and the city design (which is pretty good) than to the actual racing aspect.

I enjoyed MC3:Dub Edition so much more. I'm gonna snag as many trophies as I can before sending it back this week, and happily go back to Burnout.

I didn't much like the soundtrack save a few songs, but that's a complete personal opinion thing. Wish they would've added custom soundtracks to the ps3 version.

i personally love the sound track, but that's just opinion like you said. The game is pheonomal though, i love my skyline :)

Pssh, you just got it for the trophies, trophy ######! :p

Well, duh.

Actually, I played the crap out of Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, and R* San Diego is one of the companies I'd like to apply to, so I was looking forward to this one.

Judge all ye like, trophy slag.

Actually, I'm liking this a bit more as I go along. Still prefer Burnout, and Burnout would pwn this if it had a race restart instead of having to drive across town every time you lose, but MC:LA is growing on me a bit.

If cars are paid DLC, however, I'll be semi-****ed, because it's stupid to do that, but I won't care as much since I'll be long done with the game.

Just bought this today. I turned off the camera shake because it was making me sick, but it's pretty good. Better than any recent free world Need for Speed and, thankfully, unlike Burnout, has markers so I don't get lost for every race.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.

      You could disable this "functionality/feature/whatever" with 2 registry keys, ages ago.
