From the way they made the interstates to back roads, yes I think graphics are the best.
Graphics sell the game, as long with functionality.
A game based on nothing but excellent gameplay and poor graphics will probley sell to a few, but not to me.
Only reason I like it is it's 10x better then what SCS Software, and even myself, could ever do. It's the Driving Simulator in my dreams.
I drempt that 1 day, there would be a driving simulator that you could go everywhere in the US. But just California is good enough to me.
I-80's birthplace (Oakland) is here, and interchanges cooler then what I've seen on I-75 in real life.
(drooling over the pictures).. err. Where was I?
Ohh yes.
Yes I think graphics are important.
