Beautiful! This is art at it's finest! No video game can ever give you the awesome feeling that you would get walking into this building. If you look up at the ceiling try to fine the M's and the A's (Michelangelo). Though he wasn't the only artist to paint in the Sistine Chapel, it is well known that he painted the ceiling. I don't know if this was done purposely or if it was just a coincidence.
