L.A. street map

Regarding the statement "The Los Angeles map is considered one of the most detailed and accurate versions of L.A. yet," is there a source for it? The map in True Crime: Streets of LA is much more accurate. Midnight Club has a good map, but is missing landmarks like MacArthur Park and the La Brea tarpits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:Contributions/207.14.148.51|207.14sed much in international English.) I honestly do not know what that sentence is trying to say. 82.46.76.11 (talk) 10:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

plot

that plot description is way too long and detailed. definitely needs to be shortened. -- ZookPS3 (talk) 17:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

this is the best goddamn sentance ever: A 30 year old man East Coast to move to Los Angeles. While the character is left nameless, he 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 116.212.212.41 (talk) 16:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Soundtrack Notes

the soundtrack list has been an essential in every article of this game, so please do not delete it for the excuse of "no one is reading it"; also, for those who have the time and the game, can you help on categorizing the list, the in-game genre's list were 10 or 12, if you can put bulletin or other readable way to move each song to its genre list, i wish i can do it myself but my Xbox got the RRoD, and most of the websites concerning the game only list the songs without categorizing it Silver mask cube (talk) 00:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

The point being made is that the JP release isn't notable for the infobox, not that it didn't happen. Thanks! Fin©™ 08:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Online community (Racing Crews)

Online gameplay Is very popular among players, many have made " crews" who would race against other crews in a series of races called crew battles. The fastest crew in the game history is the League of KMB, technically not a Crew due to it being a conjunction of multiple Gaming Clans/Crews from MCLA and across the Playstation Network. The League of KMB are known to be the worlds largest gaming clan, and only Clan League Organization to exist. Their most notable members are PSN ID: KMB_TM-N-E_CANO, KMB_TM-N-E_Nava, KMB_TM-N-E_smoKE, KMB_S-C-K_KING87, KMB_TGR_KILLA, KMB_RDrZ_BOSS-, KMB_RDrZ_OUTLAW, and KMB_PRC_LUNY. They are known to have beaten every crew on Midnight Club and if not ending, merging their defeated opponents after victory. They are the only sponsored group on Midnight Club, by The Federation of Clans.

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Midnight Club: Los Angeles/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

There are issues with MOS:NUMBERS and WP:YOU.

1. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

References are not formatted properly. Access dates, authors, and date of publication should be present where possible.

1. B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

There are very large portions of the prose that are unreferenced, and 20 references seems rather small for the size of the article. Additionally very few of the review scores are referenced.

1. C. No original research:

2. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

3. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

While the reviews all give very high marks, no mention is made of any criticism

1. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

2. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

Rationale for the gameplay image could be drastically improved. Additionally this seems to be more of a promotional screenshot and doesn't demonstrate gameplay.

1. B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

The secondary box are is unnecessary per WP:NFCC and should be removed.

1. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

Unfortunately due to the number of issues I have to quick-fail this article. I will say that the improvements made over the last while have made it a much better, more informative read, but it just hasn't hit GA-standards as of yet. Keep hope alive, though. There's been made great strides made here. --Teancum (talk) 15:49, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
