Summary: Beware!
Review: First of all there is nothing in the description of this product that says you are required to pay $9.99 a month to play!! You can't play unless you subscribe & then they say their rates can change at any time!! They also say this is a "low" user fee?? Pretty hefty sum to play a game I bought! My son is pretty disappointed. I'm disappointed, too, with the false advertising. There's a big difference in playing on-line & paying to play online. Unless you are willing to sign up via credit card & fork away $10.00 a month to play this game, find something else!

Summary: UNHAPPY WITH FEE
Review: I PLAYED THE OLD GAME STREERODS FOR THE AMIGA AND IT"S THE SAME IDEA , BUYING CARS AND PARTS TO BUILD UP YOUR CAR, TO FINALLY RACE FOR MONEY OR TITLES. THIS GAME WITH IT"S GRAPHICS ARE GREAT, BUT THE IDEA OF ONLINE FEES IS NOT RIGHT.SO, IF YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF PAYING TO RACE THEN BUY IT, BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY IS PAY.

Summary: Fleeting chance you will ever like this...1 out 100 might
Review: This game is like most. Strong advertisement, sells you the idea that you will get a real game with hours and hours of un-repetetive fun. Hardly. 2 weeks into your 30 days free trial (oh yes...its ($$$) there after to play...no offline play available) you will have seen all there is to see. And if you are lucky, you will see the cheats too. The guys who will offer you what seems like a fair trade only to find out they know alot more about MCO than you ever will, and you give them your trade and get zero in return. Then they change names and you never hear from them again. MCO has General Managers online, but they will not interfere with these types of problems.
To race is to earn money. But the real problem with MCO is that there is only one track which produces more money and more points (to the next level). To race against humans is stupid. You only win at the most $200, and only gain some 20 points. However if you race a sponsored car (not the one you have pointedly been saving money to soup up) at the Bel View track, you can consistently earn $300-$400 and about 80 points. That is the only track that is consistent and it takes about 4 minutes to run it, and it gets older than 3 hour old chewing gum. Whats the future in it? NONE. You just race that one track. If you race against humans, they will quit on you if they are losing. Blah. Same immoral responses we've seen in any other online game, except this one is ONLY online and to play it...you cough up ($$$) dollars every month to endure the pain.

Summary: [bad]
Review: As if you could write software to make everyone happy. MCO doesn't even make some happy. When you log on expect to be called [rude] names or and to have your car stolen and if you race the clock for cash its the same track 5 minutes of time over and (...) over.
AVOID THIS one.

Summary: A great game if you know what to expect...
Review: Most reviewers seem to love this game or hate it. I'd like to offer a balanced opinion to someone who's curious about buying it.The game is very challenging. Building a well balanced car takes time and patience, but it can be very rewarding when you win a race because you picked the right camshaft or tried those new tires. You can set your own goals within the game community. Start a club, or try to collect rare parts and sell them to others for a profit. Wanna build a car that's good on the track? At the drag strip? How fast can you go down a winding dirt-and-gravel country road without losing control? There are people of every stripe within the game, from experienced racers to newbies who aren't sure what color to pick for their new paintjob. Although some people in the game were in the beta, nobody was allowed to carry their cars/parts over to the final release... they all had to earn what they have. This game has some negative hype, but I think that the monthly fee (which so many people think of as a bad) makes it very dynamic. The development team is planning regular updates to address the concerns of the players and to provide new cars/parts/tracks/etc. They've already released one update (or "patch") that directly addressed a number of concerns expressed on the message boards, and they're planning another update for December. I think the development team was stretched thin when the game was first released, but they are more responsive now and the game is improving. I'm amazed at the number of people who bought the game without realizing there's a monthly fee. It's printed on the box. After all, it's called Motor City ONLINE. And to the person who wouldn't give out their credit card #, go back to your Y2K shelter... We'll call you when the world is perfect. I think it's a dynamic game based on a great idea, and I think it will only get better.

Summary: Don't buy it!!!!
Review: I have no problems with the fees it is the issues with the game it self I have a system that exceeds the required min and have never been able to get it running. The mco message boards are full of people who can't! I have been treated bad by EA tech support and they really don't seem to care if you can actually play it or not!!! It is a complete waste of money!

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: This game was fun at first, but then it got repetitive, boring and dull. The beta testers all have the nice cars, and as a newbie it will take you ages to be able to afford anything decent. Plus it's just like the Need for Speed games, which I have never liked. The initial price of the game is just like any other computer game, but then you have to also pay each month to continue playing! There is no offline single player mode, so you either pay or you don't play. For the initial price it's worth it, but when you add on the monthly fee it's definately not. Needless to say I won't be buying another EA computer game for a LONG while. Don't waste your time and money on this game unless you absolutely love classic cars and don't mind wasting money each month to play a game that is mediocre at best.

Summary: Lots of potential, and that's it.
Review: I participated in the Motor City Online(MCO) beta after it was opened to the public and I was actually impressed by what I saw. To me, the game's goal of re-creating online the height of American car culture's golden age just might be possible. However, Electronic Arts shipped the game before it was finished, as is the point of view of many of it's testers, including myself. There was so much yet to be added to the game, not just cars and tracks, but new features and anti-cheating measures that were not put in. And on top of that, EA ended their EA.com Platinum Service so playing MCO won't be included in a monthly fee which included Majestic and Multiplayer Battletech(R.I.P.) And you also needed to get a separate username and password to use MCO as well. So MCO does have a lot of potential, but I'm afraid that's all it will have, locked into this state of unfinishedness. (At launch, anyway.) But I'm still looking forward to Maxis' The Sims Online and Westwood's Earth and Beyond.
