In exterior views, the windows are transparent and you can look in one window and right out the other one and see the scenery on the other side. At 800x600 the interior of the car looks almost photo-realistic. The gauges are particularly real looking, although only the speedometer and tachometer actually work. The top of the dash where the window meets could have used some more work as it looks like the dash was just chopped off at that point. Trackside scenery is fairly well done.
Scenery ranges from fertile green to parched desert to city road course landscapes.
A word of caution here, at 180mph, don't gawk too long or you'll find yourself stuffed into one of those trees you were admiring. Over all the scenery doesn't drop your jaw, but it serves its purpose and you really don't have time to pay much attention to it anyway. 80 Those of you who have seen the earlier demo will be pleased that the sounds are much improved in the release. Tire squealing has been toned down and the engine sounds beefed up a little. Over all the sound is good, not fantastic but certainly doesn't detract from the experience either.
