Actually of the reviews i’ve read it says the graphics are probarbly the biggest letdown of the game, which is probarbly a good sign :) I guess if you compare them to other 360 racers it is worse.

Yeah, car models, textures and so on doesn’t look impressive. But the the graphics engine coupled with highres textures on pc could probably look very good.

NFS Shift seems to have a far better engine, but I’m just taling about impressions: we obviously have to put our hands on these games to have a better idea of how they are. ;)
