After that, it's worth mentioning that for a 2007 release, even if there is better from the same age, it still can hold its own as far as graphics and detail go, with some quality textures, excellent character models, good attention to detail, some impressive landscapes, and a huge number of people on screen together in some levels.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Another interesting little tidbit is that this was Jesper Kyd's last work with IO Interactive, before he went onto better and greater things, such as the Assassin's Creed II soundtrack and now, the masterful Warhammer 40k Darktide.
