Remember this next time someone disses Microsoft.

Asher · September 3, 2002, 23:39

Microsoft's only the publisher.

Turbine's the developer still.

This is possibly the most gorgeous game I've yet to play.

Tree branches and grasses swing, snow can blind you, rain splashes off your shoulders, incredible draw distance, great textures, lots of detail all around.

Combined with great 3D sound using EAX, and it's very immersive.
