Uh, no. The track is waaaay too simple, but that's another story. The
graphics are not accurate. Not unless you see life thru horizontal
slits. I don't think I explained this well enough. If you watch a news
broadcast, and the idiot with the blow-dried hair wears a suit with a
herringbone pattern, and the thing looks like it 'moves' ...that's
what we mean.

US TV's show this problem constantly- the resolution is about 1/2 of a
VGA system..that's why there's been a push for HDTV, and that's also
why a well-written (this is uncommon) program for a low-tech box like
a Playstation can look as good as it does for such a low price.

 Demo or not- this is something that they really need to address. It
looks like crap. Same thing with the details switching while watching
replays.

     My bad... I understand exactly what you mean. I'm sure this can be
attributed to just pre-production jitters. Like I said before, that's
why demo's are used. I'm sure they see the same things we do and that
any company wanting to survive with a decent customer base will correct
them.
