Retract your statement?
I'm running a brand new sandybridge rig here; I'm maxing as much as I can, the graphics aren't good. They are artistically good, and the motion blur serves to cover up a lot of faults, but if we're going to get technical here, and talk about the graphics - they are worse, a lot worse.
This. Couldn't agree more.
I like the style they went with and the theme for the game (minus the road blocks and invisible walls) but the textures are low-res when you get close to them. There's probably one reason why they didn't want people to take off motion blur, because once you do, you really notice how dated the graphics are.
