How video games portray your city

There are plenty of video games out there that are set in real-life cities or at least a version of it.

The common ones are those with open-world features especially The GTA series in which are set in various real life US cities whether it's New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc.



What do you think and if there are video games that portray cities that well especially when it comes to city-scapes, cultures, etc.

They put Mexico City as a poor or dirty city and industrial, and very yellow O_o


Ghost Recon videogame, it makes a mixture of fabric zones, slums, business zones and landmarks and they put way too many palm trees.












Fifa Street in Tepito, buildings look nearer than they really are and there is no recognizable one

There's a post apocalyptic Moscow in Metro 2033, I think that's about it.


By the way, Hong Kong has a very interesting representation in the game "Sleeping Dogs". It's not entirely accurate and only Hong Kong island is featured (not all of it even).

I'm currently playing the game. Yes it is only HK Island and it features only 4 districts which is Central, North Point, Aberdeen and Kennedy Town.

Central on the other hand combines Central, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay into one.

It is actually a great game. It is not an accurate representation of HK but the feel of the game is one.

Other than the map, other inaccuracies would be the title, HKPD instead of HK Police, the use of police cars as patrol (HK Police use vans for patrol such as the Mercedes Sprinter) and guns since HK citizens are not allowed to carry firearms.
