Paradise City has plenty of variety. It took me a while to realize how limited the demo was, but - there's plenty of road in the mountains, in the valley, a little bit of suburb, some industrial yard areas, a downtime space.
There's an interstate that runs through much of the city, an expressway, some underground roads, a train system that runs in a loop (Atomica at one point mentions how glad he is that they stopped running all the trains so he can drive on the tracks whenever - I laughed, but it's true.), and a dam to drive over.
There's also some big hidden areas you'll only find by veering off the roads. I've found a massive quarry, a Nascar-style dirt track with banked walls, and some sort of stunt yard with lots of ramps.
So there's lots of variety, and it does feel like a working city - there are cars parked here and there, lots of road signs, some fake restaurants and landmarks. But no, no trains.
That's exactly how it works. GOTTA CATCH EM ALL.
Oh, and here's an easter egg I've happened onto while typing all these notes up: Stop your car in the road, but don't pause the game. You'll get some classical music and some nice black and white footage of the roads.
