Pedestrian models leave a little to be desired though, as most of them look rather blocky and 2D. DUB Edition also introduces a nice graphical touch where a blurring motion is added on cars just as you pass them, which once again adds to the game's sense of speed. The cars are extremely well detailed, while the streets themselves look almost photo-realistic (if a little on the shiny side). What adds to the rush is that DUB Edition is by far the best looking game in the Midnight Club series thus far.

If going at close to 200km/h while narrowly dodging in and out of freeway traffic doesn't give you an adrenalin buzz, then nothing short of grabbing the exposed ends of some electrical wire will. The streets of each city are packed with traffic, pedestrians and obstacles you have to avoid whilst you're at top speed, and with the random placement of cars on the road (apart from some obvious 'triggered' sections) each race feels different from the last. What makes it compelling is the state of controlled chaos you're forced to navigate through each and every race.

After all, the game is at its heart a rather simple affair - drive very, very fast between A and B, while trying to avoid as many prangs as possible. Not that we're lamenting this lack of options - DUB's quick and easy customisation options fit in well with the game's arcade sensibilities.
