Video Game Paris’ Realism
Assassins Creed creates Paris; I loved Gotham Racing for its realism, but this is a whole new level!
As you can see, while Paris as a whole was condensed and altered to better suit a video game, most major landmarks themselves (and their surrounding areas) are pretty spot-on!

Gotham Racing was the first driving game whose realism blew me away. Originally from Chicago, I drove Lake Street and Michigan Avenue with pride since it felt so real. Assassins Creed takes that type of realism to a new level; just beautiful!
