The magazine felt that the few visual shortfalls (such as texture detail) did nothing to detract from the game's overall quality.

As you'd expect, things like texture detail and animation are superb, but it's not these aspects that steal the show.

Without mipmapping support, textures in the distance appear to swim, waving around and appearing noisy, because the texture detail wasn't being properly managed and this caused texture aliasing.

This caused the different texture detail levels to pop into place as the player moved through a game and approached each polygon, instead of allowing a seamless, gradual per-pixel transition.

This enhanced version of the game features an increased draw distance, finer texture details, denser traffic and enhanced resolution, as well as new wildlife, vegetation and upgraded weather effects.
