    Even the reflection of the SUV is faithfully recreated in game! Stunning! Seriously, couldn't they have photoshopped it out? Other than that, the screenshots they've been showing have been very impressive, and the PGR gameplay is great fun. Should help shift a few X360s if it really is a launch title.

    It is a lot like the Scooby Doo backgrounds. When they are walking, the same stuff keeps showing up in the background in a loop.
