First Gameplay Video of Midnight Club Los Angeles Reveals All

Published at 11:50 PM PST

Gamekyo has posted a new article which included the first gameplay video for Midnight Club: Los Angeles yet. They recorded the video at Rockstar Games' booth at the Leipzig Games Convention. It shows many things, from racing to the pause menu.

One of the things that amazes me the most is just how beautiful the game looks. It's like Grand Theft Auto IV, if it had taken place in Miami or Florida. Although the video was recorded with a camera, and therefore is not completely clear, you can still see the effort put into the game. Nothing looks blurry or pixilated, and the cars are just spectacular. As for loading, well it appears the game follows GTA IV there also, you do not see any loading at all, and the video goes throughout large parts of the city. Even when you start a race and the screen jumps up to show the whole of Los Angeles, then zooms down to where the race is beginning, no loading takes place nor any lag or pixilation.

Overall, we are very impressed and frankly can not wait too play the game. Think Grand Theft Auto IV, without the guns and the shooting, and you have Midnight Club: Los Angeles. The game is very promising, and is looking to be more detailed and graphically beautiful than even GTA IV was. That is something we did not expect, and I feel this game is going to blow everyone away. Check the video out below and let us know what you think:
