It's a racing game, people want it to look realistic and close to the real thing since its set in real places many people will be familiar with.
So for this particular game the scenery is spot on. Realism is kind of boring to create really though, it can be fun to see if you can pull it off, but imagine how dull it must be to copy whats already there.
Still, I bet its great for the people who play the game. I have the same problem whenever I work on a game. I like FPS games so long as they have interesting AI and great graphics but the thought of making one bores me to tears.
Can't think of anything worse than trying to recreate reality in a game really :(.
