Midnight Club: Los Angeles/Walkthrough/Story

Your missions are paged to you and appear in the bottom of left corner of your screen. You can check which missions you have available, completed missions and tutorials by pressing the button to access your GPS. Then press to activate your mission log. Use /  to scroll through different tabs. I am going to inform you of each mission available to you, the vehicle the opposition drives, difficulty and the winnings. This is pretty much the best order to go through all the missions. Avoid any race that is not a mission until I say so. I will add any info for any vehicle the opposition use as much as I can. When you race in races with multiple vehicles, the opposition vehicles change based on factors such as your vehicle, difficulty, vehicle Rep. and overall Rep. Difficulty is in 4 stages. In the game it is Green (Easy), Yellow (Medium), Orange (Hard), Red (Hardest). I am going to be using the same colour system so you do not get confused. In some races, such as wagers, the difficulty is up to you. There are very few missions on the Red (Hardest) setting. The majority of the races are Yellow (Medium) so I am not going to be adding that to every race. Unless stated, the race is a Yellow (Medium) race. Your cash winnings vary, based on your Rep. and on missions of multiple races, dependent on how many races you win. The Prize will be the vehicle you win and its cash value when sold from your garage. The details on each race will be set out as follows: Mission number. Mission name Information about each race. (Opposition Vehicle; Difficulty; Prize) Missions The first vehicle you should take should be the Nissan 240SX.

1. First Impressions After meeting Booke he tells you to go race guys on the side. Flash your headlights at Henry and challenge him to a race. (280Z) You will have your first achievement: The Basics

2. Sunset Strip Race Booke calls telling you that Trevor is looking to race. Find Trevor cruising Sunset Blvd, and race him. (280Z)

3. Hollywood Auto Visit the garage in Old Hollywood and talk with Karol, the owner.

4. Red Light Racing Karol tells you about Martin cruising Sunset Blvd. Guys like Martin race from the closest red light to landmarks in the city. They will even race you back. (Scirocco) After winning this, race him back and then look on your map for the traffic light icon. Select it and win 13 to unlock the achievement below.

Tip 1: Enter at least one race from each area: The Hills, Downtown, Beaches and Hollywood. This will unlock the races needed for some of the Goal Attacks later on. Tip 2: Red Light & Freeway Racers will appear on your HUD / map when you drive past them on the road. The game will tell you that ‘you have discovered a red light/freeway racer’.

Go on Green Win 15 Red Light Races.

5. The Strip Booke tells you to build your REP. in the city by racing guys on the Sunset Strip. The more REP. you earn, the more guys will want to race you. You need to earn 400 REP. points. No need to work on this immediately so continue with the other story races as they can be worked on together.

The closer you get to the time, the easier it will be for you on the next run. If you beat the first time by 30 seconds, then you have to beat it again by 32 seconds. If you beat it by 1 second, the next time trial will only require you to be 3 seconds faster. It makes it a lot easier.
