I can assure you that the game looks considerably better when viewed on spike with a HD TV. I know you were thinking it might have not looked impressive but trust me the game will look a lot better when you are playing it. I had the same thoughts when I seen the trailer online, I was questioning the graphics in my head. But watching it in Hd on spike I got presently surprised. So Please dont panic. Let me know if you were skeptical about the graphics, if you agree, or disagree!
