Kidding aside it's really cool, it's insane to me that one can just download the entire map of Most Wanted to their browser in seconds. Some of these maps would make great webgl case studies for shaders and rendering, they're reproduced really well. Also god were they efficient in those days, any polygon that can't be seen from ground level is just removed from the mesh entirely instead of culled at runtime.
I'm glad to have seen this before Nintendo's lawyers load their book throwing catapults.
