Plot
A man from the East Coast moves to Los Angeles. The character, known only as "Player", takes a major role in the game. In the intro of the game, he is on the phone with the, unknown at the time, Los Angeles City Champ, Booke, telling him to meet at a fast-food restaurant named Carney's Express Limited. He hooks the protagonist character up with three cars, one to pick, in the beginning of the game: a 1998 Nissan 240SX, 1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI, or 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco.
Early in the game, the protagonist character asks Booke saying if someone can help him with his car. After a few missions, the character receives a call from a Russian man, from Moscow, named Karol, who plays a big part throughout the game, telling him that he is welcome to use his garage, Hollywood Auto, as a safehouse where the character can buy and sell vehicles, paint the body, upgrade the engine, or any other thing the character wants to do to his vehicle. Shortly after, the character meets Annie, who has earned a reputation as one of the finest drivers in the city. Karol calls introducing him to Delivery Missions, where he must deliver cars with very little damage in a certain amount of time. After that the character is introduced to "Time Trials" where he has a certain amount of time to make his way around the city in a certain vehicle. The first vehicle the character uses is a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse. After each and every time trial, someone calls saying that it has been beaten, meaning the character must do it again, sometimes even more than twice. With many time trials, payback missions and regular races, Annie calls saying to race these people at the 7-Eleven in Santa Monica.
Around 70% completed, the character meets an young man named Andrew. After a few races with Andrew and other missions to build rep and money, with City Optional Races with no major character involved, Booke calls the character about a payback mission where a man named Jin owes Booke money, and the character has to take his car out. After the mission, where Jin is released from the hospital Booke calls and says that they have been challenged to a Team-Ordered race between Jin and Andrew. After the race, the Los Angeles Police Department starts going after the street racers, and they chase the character in a mission called "Lose the Cops", where the character must race from an abandoned gas station to Carneys without the cops noticing. During the mission Booke calls and says that if he doesn't come back and get him, "they're done with each other". Later after, Andrew calls saying that he wants to race in his 1995 Mazda RX-7. Later Annie calls again saying to race her in her new Shelby Cobra Concept. After, Andrew calls the character, in a very bad mood, saying " Well if it isn't Mr. Big Win, you think you're so good using your foot to step down on a pedal, yeah yeah. Now let's see how well you do on a bike! Get your hands on a motorcycle and get some rep out of it and then we'll talk! " He calls back saying that bikers want to race the character in a hangout downtown. After the tournament, five races and another city race, Andrew challenges the character in a 2006 Ducati 999R.
After the tournament, Booke says that the character needs to have the right to race him, now that he is interested because he has made a fine reputation, by racing the District Class Champs: Tommy, Leon, and Laticia. Aside from the District Champ races, the character also begin a series of Class Champ races, one Champ he has to beat all five vehicle classes on the game from the characters Oswaldo, Julian, Lester, Pete, Marcel, which is part of the final part of the game. After the character beats the district champs, Booke calls saying he is impressed, and to meet him at the Standard Hotel for a race which ends up being the City Champ race vs. Booke and one of the final races on Career mode.
After all the Class Champs and the City Champ are beat, Karol later calls and asks for a proposition from the character. He asks him to get $1 million dollars to help co-own his two garages with him for his business. In return, since the character co-owns the two garages with him, he lets the character have anything in the garages for free. This proposition also affects Doc's South Central garage although the game does not mention it.
After the character has completed 100% in LA in the PSP version, an unknown man somehow has reached his cell number, and calls saying that he wants to meet him at the Los Angeles International Airport on " his flight to Tokyo " then the character says " You talking about the Mid Night Club? " After the call, the Tokyo career and map can be accessed in Midnight Club: LA Remix.
Gameplay
The game is set in the city of Los Angeles, again providing the option to completely free-roam (in an open world environment larger than all the three cities combined from the previous game, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition ). New additions are a 24 hour day-to-night cycle, weather effects and traffic with licensed vehicle, adding a realistic aspect to the game. After races, if any damage is inflicted upon the vehicle, the player doesn't necessarily have to drive back to the garage for a full repair, but instead can choose the Quick Fix option through which old, junkyard-esque parts will be added to the car. To get the nice look back, the player must actually drive back to repair their vehicle at a garage or at a gas station, so totaling the car is only possible within a single race or event. With the RAGE system being used for this game, traffic levels fluctuate throughout the day, with heavy traffic in the morning and afternoon, and little traffic at night. Motorcycles are again part of the game, including the Ducati 999R and the hyper sport bike, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14. Convertible cars, customizable interiors, in-game photo mode, and customizable exotics are all new additions.
The Special Abilities options have also been brought into the game (a returning feature from the previous installment), which include EMP, when activated will disable the electronics of every vehicle around the player; Agro, when activated will make the player's vehicle indestructible giving him the ability to plow through traffic without slowing the car down; Roar, when activated will send out a sound wave moving traffic ou
