Picked this up the other day. Aside from being a good game, it has a great soundtracks. As well as Hip Hop, Dub, Drum and Bass, there's a lot of old style techno/detroit on there; Underground Resistance, Suburban Knight, etc.

Yes, from movingshadow.com " ... STOP PRESS ...
Look out for plenty of Moving Shadow tunes gracing the latest version on Rockstar Games' Midnight Club 3 and Grand Theft Auto PSP! More details on all that in the next edition of the news :-)

dave_g Yep, Calyx, Dom & Roland and Aquasky are in it. Not just one or two tracks either, probably about a dozen in total.
Epohs, No you're thinking of Dance Dance Revolution. This is a street racing game.
Aesthetics Yes, much better than 2 (which I also liked). Real world car/bike/aftermarket parts manufacturers, much better handling (particularly the bikes), faster, better graphics etc. It's on xbox and PS2 at the moment, PSP release at some point in the future.

Theres a new calyx album out in a week or so I beleive. Dunno if you like his recent stuff like that ep thing on metalheadz. quite good 2X12" . i still prefer the older stuff when calyx was a duo, like the earlier audio couture stuff. some of the calyx vs dom remix things are nice hard dnb though, if that floats ya boat.
rockstar games always seem to get decent people to do the music, even if they made an okish game, you know the music would be spot on. No one else comes close.

Yep, really good track choices and their in house musicians are very good too (although they don't seem to be used in this one). They said that for MC3, they picked 1000 of their favourite tracks in the appropriate genres and then whittled this down to the 80 that fitted the game best.
On the subject of the game, despite the real world cities & cars, this is very arcadey- there is damage, but you can drive on 2 wheels, powerslide like mad, etc. a great fun game, but not a simulation like Gran Turismo/Project Gotham.
