If you’ve played the current and even the last generation of racing games on any video game platform, you’ve probably enjoyed the numerous customization opportunities that they offer.  Apart from actually owning those top-of-the-line sports cars (or even the normal ones) and taking them for a virtual spin, games like Forza, Need for Speed, Gran Turismo and the like have given players the option to purchase parts that improve performance or just add a bit of flavor to their pixel rides.

While such games gave us a chance to realize our Fast and the Furious fantasies, majority of these games stick only to the exterior and performance tuning.  Sure, some might say having the ability to fix your seats, steering wheels, dashboard and shift knob is pointless, but if one really wants to get into the car culture, then that little bit of immersion experience could add more than an aesthetic pandering.

So true blue tuners and car fans can finally get their fill in customizing the near-entirety of their vehicle up to the interior in Rockstar Games’ (makers of the infamous Grand Theft Auto series) Midnight Club: Los Angeles.  Out for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, Midnight Club: LA features a detailed virtual world fashioned from the City of Angels.  Imagine careening down Hollywood Boulevard with any of the 43 cars or 3 bikes available, all of which, as I’ve kept repeating like some broken record, are fully customizable.  The variety ranges from imports, muscle cars and even exotics.
