Eurogamer got their hands on (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=249221) the Xbox 360 version of Midnight Club: Los Angeles. Rockstar San Diego's upcoming arcade racer looks like it will dish out a healthy dose of multiplayer mayhem. Capture the Flag works surprisingly well in Midnight Club. Again, the open, sprawling setting, abundance of shortcuts, and frequent grid layouts make this a game of evasion, anticipation and almost tactical route-planning - rather than simple cat-and-mouse - as you watch the mini-map like a hawk and attempt to head the flag-bearer off at the pass. Contact transfers the flag, and crashing drops it, while the flag-bearer's car runs slightly slower than everyone else's, just to keep things interesting.
