There is nothing special about lens flare effect (even if the game is only 5% complete).
There was a time when game developers seemed to go mad on adding lens flare effects EVERYWHERE in their games, but today they only use it where necessary.
With a bit of searching, we can find numerous screen shots of PC and DC games with equally good lens flare effects.
But admittedly, it does look suspensiously like the one seen in photoshop.
And not only that, the main character looks as if it was added later! Hmmm...
