My bro picked this one up today! its not bad! Not as good as we thought it would be, its pretty pixaly looking. a lot more then call of duty, and kameo, but not bad I guess, and I suppose it would look better on an HDTV.
but anyways, the game, from the 2 minutes I watched him play, looks not much greater then the top notch xbox racing games, but there are a few sweet details xbox could never do
for starters, the reflections in the car are super accurate and super smooth running, the car reflects anything in the level perfectly. inside the car, you can see smears on the windows, you have all 3 rear/side mirrors to see behind you, all real time pictured, and even tilted like a real car, its awesome!
glowing from the sun through the trees and around buildings. when you look towards the sun, everything in front of it goes really dark, and you get this glowing around them as you would in real life.
motion blurr!! holy crap, is this ever an awesome part of the game. Anything close to you wizzing by blurrs as it would in real life as well, like when you are driving across a bridge, and all the pillars are blurred while you look at the background, which isn't blurred. It mimmicks this in the game perfectly. So you can race down a bridge, which is all blurring as you look out the side window, but the city in the background isn't blurred at all. its so crazy :rock
The roads look very realistic, but the grass doesn't.. guess they never got to making the grass realistic.
When you're inside a tunnel, the lighting adjusts like it would through a real camera, so when you're just outside the tunnel, it looks really black inside, but you get in the tunnel, all the lighting adjusts, like your eyes would, meanwhile the outside of the tunnel goes really white. again, really awesome!
k, im gonna go play some more, just has to share my thoughts :P man I can't get over some of the things this thing can do, and its only the first generation games using 1 out of 3 processors :ev:
the games next year for 360 and the other systems are gonna kick so much ass :rock
