City As Video Game Fantasyland

Has anyone played Project Gotham Racing 3 yet? We were watching TV and saw a commercial, with a car zipping past the Municipal Building. We then went to IGN, where they had screen captures like this one at the Manhattan Bridge! Project Gotham Racing seems like pure fantasy, no one is their right mind should be driving that fast in NYC. In fact, Gothamist can barely remember how drive. Hey, game developers, please create "Project Gotham Mass Transit," where we'd be able to make sure the trains run on time... or we have to get to work on time - have obstacles like an expired Metrocard, sick passenger, and signal problems in it. Something.

And speaking of NYC video games, a teenager had an adverse reaction to playing True Crime: New York. Yet NYC tour guides, as commissioned by the New Yorker, were able to play it.
