As with so many other Xbox 360 titles, the graphics boast an impressive amount of detail. This is demonstrated from very early in the game, when you begin moving about the dungeon area. Despite the darkness of the environment, the details of the stone walls and the body language of the other characters come through with impressive clarity. With the game's first-person perspective, you can choose to walk up close to a wall to inspect the stones or floor down to the finest details. Examining other characters is a bit more difficult but rewarding, if you can manage it. Fabric details are noticeable in the game, as are very fine levels of detail on the armor worn by the guards. The rats you fight early on in the dungeon, as well as the main character's "hands," were less impressive but still looked acceptably realistic.
