Fast? Furious? Pretty good!
This is a game I'd had my eye on for some time, but the reviews put me off. I've never been a huge racer fan - I love Burnout and Motorstorm, can take or leave NFS, and have no interest in GT or Forza. So with the decent price and all the DLC thrown in I decided to give this a shot.
And it's actually a lot of fun. I've never been to LA, but the environments look good and evoke the feel of LA from the many films set there as well as games set in "LA" like GTA:SA. The racing is well done - the cars handle like a cross between the more realistic racers and arcade racers.
Racing is a lot of fun, the game atmosphere is well done, and the overall package comes together nicely.

Driving in LA was never this awesome
As a game that hit the current gen consoles after Burnout Paradise, Midnight Club: LA comes through to bring a nice hybrid of real environments fused with a great action driving movie feel.

Game has enough amount of challenge with traffic and well balanced AI (thanks to the post patch) and the open world is much easier to navigate through thanks to more recognizable landmarks and finer structure.

Original game itself is worth 40+ hours of entertainment. Now with this complete addition, you get an additional content including South Central to drive through including additional car packs released as a DLC.

This by far is the best open world driving game in my books. If you haven't bought and played this game already, complete edition is definitely the way to go.
