While not perfect, this is probably my personal favorite best looking game right now. I wouldn't change a thing in it, all things considered. Sure, I would like if it had better facial animation, but if that was the price to pay so that the time and budget can go to other things more important for this genre, so be it.
Resolution, framerate (being unlocked), AA, effects etc, all the technical decisions were made right with this game, IMO. This is coming after my serious disappointment with how KZ3 looks btw, in which I feel almost no decisions were made right.
It's the first fully 3D game I can think of that has the density and look of a Blade Runner movie. I really like that about it.
