How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown recreates the Monster Building in Quarry Bay, the packed residential blocks that close in around a courtyard. CptSigma's comparison shows the game's version looking straight up between the walls of flats, with the canopies and old windows all there, though with far less colour than the real thing.
The real place
The Monster Building is the nickname of five connected residential blocks built in the 1960s and 1970s on King's Road, known together as the Yick Cheong Building complex. Its walls of windows and air conditioners around a small courtyard became famous after appearing in films such as Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Visiting
This is a private housing estate where thousands of people live, so keep your voice down, do not block the shops and follow any signs about photography. The courtyard entrance is on King's Road, a few minutes' walk from Tai Koo station.
