Detail levels can be easily controlled, allowing for a higher resolution, a bonus for those without gaming beasts. Details which can't be controlled are only the small ones which actually add to the game's realism such as skid marks, and sand trails from a speeding car on a dust-road. Weapons are presented well, although I think a better job could have been done with the normal car-mounted machine guns. They simply fire rapid yellow lines in the air, not very spectacular, but they make their point. The overall zones are life-like, made up of your everyday earth, water, and sky, and lets not forget fire.
Cars seem real, although there is no visual damage.
You can only tell harm by indicators seen only in cockpit view. Talking about views the game offers a wide variety of them including inside, outside, side, rear, and front. I don't think so. In sum, graphics are satisfactory and life-like, although speed should have been taken into account. Gameplay is outstanding.
