In most driving games, the tracks are either officially licensed race courses or completely made up (here's looking at you, "Excite Bike"). But in the open world street racing game “Midnight Club: Los Angeles”—which Rockstar Games has just released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and on the PSP as “Midnight Club: L.A. Remix”—players take to shockingly lifelike renditions of real L.A. streets.
