Where? DotD?
I can see why, since the light effect on the game is a little overboard.

Yeah... It's the lighting that makes the game able to be seen.
And I wish Krome made this game too.

They totally rushed the PS2 version even more then the other ones, take that sparx thing for example, like seriously. WHY ACTIVISION. WHY DID YOU KICK OUT KROME.

I agree. I don't see why graphics really matter a whole lot on whether you can see or not.
The lighting of a game can, though. I can see someone not being able to see DotD with all that light effect on it (what is it? Blur? Slur? Something like that), especially in VoA.

... So? Maybe you need some glasses?
I can see any game fine, graphics play little part in that.

Graphics never bothered me. I never saw graphics as important at all, don't see why they're so overrated.
