I have just got to say that this would have to be one of the most graphically amazing games yet to grace the PS2, and in progressive scan mode on a hi spec TV or monitor, the results are even surpassed!
The game contains no jaggies, it is as smooth as silk, and runs at a constant 60fps. Whilest character models aren\'t really anything to rave about (there great, they really are, but nothing better then TTT. Similar to DOA3) but they do the job.
The thing that is really impressive is the amount of poly\'s this game can through around. The locations are massive, and I mean massive, and you can basically go where ever you can see. There are also so many spectators in many of the arena\'s, and they are suprisingly detailed.
The final arena has, no joke, about 1000+ individual moving spectators in this massive arena all moving around and cheering. They look fully 3D, and are quite detailed, though I have a feeling that it might be a trick to the eye (they certainly arent sprites though).
I gotta hand it to Namco, this is one sexy game, certainly on par to DOA3 (in a technical sense, but they are too very different games).
I really, really hope that they get started on Ridge Racer 6 soon, as Namco are really learning the PS2.
