Current Events > LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham: interesting fact

(+) Yeah! (+)

The main story is about Brainiac collecting stuff on Earth. One of the "things" he was collecting was examples of major European cities and shrinking them down.

There is one mission, called "Europe Against It", where you visit mini versions of Paris, London, and Pisa. The developers went to the effort of making it so that the cities were actually for the most part proportionally correct to their geography.

In Paris, you start at the Eiffel Tower, cross the Seine to the Trocadero Gardens, head up Avenue Kleber, and end up at the Arc de Triomphe.

In London, you start at the Thames, near Big Ben, then head up Parliament St. to Trafalgar Square, then up the Mall to Buckingham Palace.

In Pisa, which is smaller, you start at one side of Piazza del Duomo, then go to the other side, where the Leaning Tower is.

I just thought it was neat and wanted to share.

That does seem like a fun step that they didn't have to make the effort to do, but its cool that they did.

Sort of like how some of the Assassin's Creed games had some relatively consistent layouts of ancient cities. Neat that they make the effort.
