You were asking about MCLA so here it is:
Is there use of real cars?
Yes, all of the cars you drive are 100% liscened/real cars.
The traffic is a mixture of made up cars (that resemble real life ones) as well as some cars by GM (Cobalt, Escalade, Silverado, Cadillac Limo, and some others)
Is the customization good?
The customization features of this game are AMAZING.
Let me go over most of them with you:

- Hoods
- Headlights
- Intercoolers (Some cars)
- I forgot what they're called, but on some muscle cars, you can get part of the engine to come out of the hood
The Side of the Car
- Scissor Doors
- Side Skirts
- Side Exhausts (Only some muscle cars)
The Rear of the Car

Does the gamespot review do justice to the game?
No. The main complaint they had for the game was the difficulty, and the difficulty was patched. I haven't played the game before the patch, but it really isn't as hard as they make it seem. The "Very Hard" races are a bit of a challenge, but really that's it. The game deserves more of an 8.5 to a 9 rather than the 7.5 that they gave it.
That's a basic overview of the game. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
