Back in August we took a look at Rockstar's upcoming racing title, and while we were wowed by the sheer mayhem promised by the latest addition to the Midnight Club franchise, they wouldn't let us see any of the multiplayer side of the game.

Happily, Rockstar has now come to the rescue and provided us with a fairly comprehensive overview of what the next-gen racer title will provide in the way of entertainment for you and your friends.

Those used to the Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer integration will be pleased to learn that in Midnight Club Los Angeles, the transition between singleplayer and multiplayer is just as seamless. They are based on the same engine, after all.

Rockstar have put together a promotional piece detailing the massive amount of effort they've spent creating a real-life L.A. experience with their upcoming Midnight Club Los Angeles racing title. Read on to discover more!

"Since the earliest days of the PlayStation 2, the Midnight Club series has offered a true open-world racing experience. They were the first racing games to give players the freedom to find their own route through real world environments. By taking detailed recreations of modern cities, and carefully modifying and improving them with insane stunt jumps and shortcuts, Midnight Club established a style that made every race unique. With each new installment, the series continued to innovate, improving on the premise that open, real world environments and insanely fast racing action make for one of the most exciting combinations gaming can provide..."

Midnight Club Los Angeles takes full advantage of the potential in the current generation of hardware to exceed all expectations. And that begins with the city of Los Angeles that Rockstar San Diego has conjured up. It’s the most detailed and evocative real-world location ever to exist inside a game. From the Ferris Wheel on the Santa Monica Pier to the Chateau Marmont above Sunset Boulevard, there’s an instant hit of recognition as you turn every corner of the city. Each street, underpass, and back alley of Los Angeles has been transposed from the real world and then ever so lovingly tweaked for racing perfection. It’s the idealized version of Los Angeles, designed to be navigated at break neck speeds. And all of this detail isn’t just for show: when you’re making split second decisions at 245 mph, you’ll want to learn every twist and turn, and know the topography of the city like the back of your hand. So by way of introduction, here are just a few of the many landmarks you’ll be getting to know.

Rockstar Games have released the first Midnight Club: Los Angeles trailer to detail the car customization options along with the in-game garage.

Developed by series creator Rockstar San Diego, Midnight Club: Los Angeles will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in October this year.

You can check out our preview here, and we've mirrored the new trailer over at GP Downloads (28MB).

Having sold a total of more than twelve million games to date, the Midnight Club franchise is adequately qualified to comment on that murkiest of vehicular subjects: illegal street racing.

The name is coined from a Japanese motorway racing club, and previous titles have gradually expanded this racing scene to include additional locations, vehicle modifications, extensive soundtracks and real licensed vehicle models. The latter being a particular coup - it's hard to imagine any manufacturer wanting to be associated with street racing, let alone vehicle damage on actual production cars, but Rockstar pulled it off. Paying attention, Polyphony?

For Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Rockstar has gone back to basics and set the game entirely within the confines of the metropolis of L.A. In typical Grand Theft Auto IV fashion they've gone "up" rather than just "out", preferring to concentrate on applying a mind-bending level of detail to every single component within the game, rather than simply providing endless kilometres of boring motorway. If you've been to L.A., you'll recognise real-world shops and buildings in the game - it's that authentic. They've even lifted the same RAGE engine from GTA IV, complete with variable traffic patterns, a complete day/night cycle and realistic, handling-affecting weather patterns. Nice.

Rockstar have released the second trailer for Midnight Club Los Angeles, showing almost a minute of gameplay footage.

Midnight Club Los Angeles is the fourth entry in the acclaimed Midnight Club series of racing games, and the first designed exclusively for next generation consoles. Running on RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine), and boasting a recreation of LA which is larger than all three of the cities from Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition combined, Midnight Club Los Angeles will feature an array of vehicles from supercars and tuners to bikes, muscle cars and more.
