For those who don't wanna read alot etc ill put it in a short form.
---------

The whole city is open to you from the beginning, but if you want to race with the serious street machines, you’re going to have to build up your reputation (lets call it “REP” from here on out) to unlock bigger and badder machines and after market parts.

There are forty different vehicles you can own in MC: LA and they fall into four basic classes – Tuner, Luxury, Exotic and Muscle – as well as motorcycles.

Special moves system has stayed in the game. This time though, instead of the powers being attached to a specific car type, you can use any of them you want – Zone, Agro, Roar or the new one, EMP – on any car that you want. You’re just limited to one at a time.
---------------------
Race Types:

Circuit Races: Just like an ordered race, but with multiple laps to complete, with checkpoints marked by the familiar colored smoke..

Unordered Races: These are races with checkpoints that you can clear in any order. Of course, that builds a strategy element into the game, and knowing your way around a map, especially where the shortcuts are, will be of immense help to finding the quickest path to victory.

Freeway Races: Flash your lights at a predetermined freeway racer (you can spot them on radar or your GPS map) and fly full speed through traffic to the end point. If you want to feel the true speed of the game, you can’t do much better than this.

Time Trials: Pretty straightforward; compete with the same vehicle to see who can get the lowest time for a particular route.

Tournaments: These involve multiple opponents, not just one on one affairs, and you earn points based on the place you come in. At the end points are tallied up and a winner declared.

Red Light Racer: One of the most free race types, you meet an opponent at a red light and race to a single point on the map, taking whatever route you please. Again, knowing the map really well is, as G.I. Joe says, half the battle.

Series Races: These are a collection of races that begin at the different racer hangouts spread across the map. First racer to win three is crowned the victor.

Wager Races: Money is an important component of MC:LA. It lets you buy new cars and parts. These are one on one races where the difficulty is raised based on the stakes.

Pinkslip Races: Another great way to acquire new rides? Just take them from racers who can’t keep up. You’ll need to own more than one car to compete in these (you can’t lose your only car, what would you do then?) but you can quickly build up your stable by taking away wheels from other people.

Delivery: We’re in Hollywood and the rich and famous are too busy being rich and famous to pick up the new cars they bought. So you get to deliver them. Of course, celebrities are a bunch of impatient jerks so there’s a time limit. Prevent any damage from happening to the cars en route and you’ll get a nice bonus.

Payback: You want to be pals with the mechanic. After all, this is the dude repairing and modifying your whips. But he’s got a temper, and he doesn’t like people that don’t pay him. So sometimes you can help him exact revenge by taking his vehicle out and hunting down the skinflints who owe him money and bashing their cars into oblivion.

Telephone Challenge: One of the other tools you’ll have in the game is your trusty T-Mobile Sidekick (hello product placement). Once in a while, people will call you up and challenge you to a race, which will then be displayed on the phone’s GPS display. These happen randomly, but assure that you’ll always have someone looking to race you any time.
--------------------------------------

All around the map are gas stations where you can repair your car or refill your nitrous (that one you can do at full speed, in the middle of a race)

Two garages where you can do some serious modifications to your hoopty. You can purchase and apply all kinds of after-market upgrades that affect the handling, acceleration and speed of your car. These are name brand parts, if you care about that sort of thing.

Modifications to change the way your car looks both inside and out. Hoods, bumpers, rims, ground kits, they’re all there. Plus, the option for customizing the inside of your car, from the upholstery to the dashboard design, is more than you’ve seen in any other game. But what’s really cool are the options in the paint shop. You can pick from an almost infinite number of colors on the color wheel, in any finish you want – matte, metallic, pearlescent, etc. – but now you can also create complex decals to put on the outside of your car. It uses a photoshop-type layering system much like Forza did, but not with quite the same amount of power; only sixty-four layers. But with that amount of flexibility, good artists should be able to make some pretty awesome custom liveries that might hold up against the awesome user created ones we saw in Forza 2.

Police They’re promised to be more intelligent and dynamic, which is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you look at it. Either way you don’t want to get busted by the Po-Po; there are some hefty fines you’ll have to pay if you do. Beat them and you’ll earn some serious REP though.

two words....

[race_invader]

I second that.. Except that wasn't 2 words you posted, it was emotions..

[TheStig]

It looks nice, but I have to say that 40 vehicles is not very much, especially when you include bikes.

[speed_man]

everything that i said

[Koenigsegg_Rox]

lawl at the sidekick, that must be quite a popular phone in games cause it was the main communication tool in skate as well.

[S2000_Skyline12]

It's a generally popular phone lol. I had one, sold it for a HTC Excalibur though, still nice for what it does though. I wonder if they'll have the 3, LX, Tony Hawk LX or Slide.

[TheStig]

It's a generally popular phone lol.

In the US that is, as far as I know it's not even sold outside the US. same was for the Blackberry, there was no TV serie or film that didn't have one, but here in Europe nobody cared about it.

[Koenigsegg_Rox]

Well I've never heard of T-Mobile....

[S2000_Skyline12]

I think it's sold under some Suncom thing or whatever it's called, can't remember, but it's sold in another place than the US

[donaldgladden]

anyone know the song of the song in the lastest trailer featuring cops?

[speed_man]

I dont know i was wondering the same thing....?

[taz947]

Too bad it won't be released on PC.


But anyways,there will be forty vehicles,including bikes?

[Koenigsegg_Rox]

only 40? Jeez, not much for a Midnight Club...

[race_invader]

New 2nd trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmHC0XmQ ... re=related

[ImJ]

I'm pretty sure TDU has 40 vehicles including bikes i think lol? Well abit more around 40 - 70 : D

[TheStig]

40 that is about the same as NFS MW, (add a few bikes and you get 40 vehicles in total) that's not so much.

[race_invader]

Oh i forgot to mention that seeing midnight club LA is with DUB etc, there is a very high possibility for DLC mostly likely Xbox 360 users at this point. So it would maybe make it 50 cars on the game or something..
