280Z Spotted in Midnight Club: Los Angeles Game
We’ve never believed that a racing game should have to include an underground street racing storyline and the presence of dubs. Call us Gran Turismo snobs if you must, but the reason the GT series appeals to our inner nerds is the rich selection of classic cars available in the game. Recently there’s been a lot of noise on teh Internets about Midnight Club: Los Angeles, the latest in one of the cartoonish series we’ve been ignoring. That is, until this Datsun 280Z caught our eye. Admittedly, the ridiculous X-wing spoiler doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, but consider our interest piqued. For those jonesing for some old school Gran Turismo goodness, take a look at this forum thread.

That’s will be a exiting game. I want it on my PS3.

^hahahhaaha^
I never much cared for that series after the first one on PS2. It’s a huge stereotype of the “underground” import scene…

Because of that spoiler, I am not playing this game out of sheer principle

I won’t be satisfied with a “street racing” game until Genki steps up to the plate again. The Tokyo Xtreme line was just ingenious (especially because a Fairlady was the ultimate car in the game).

Thanks for reminding me. There IS a 240Z in that game, and it was rather satanic looking too.

I now have MCLA and it is quite cool to build/customise the 280Z and then cruise around in it.
