Why does everyone get worked up about realism in games? The concept of them is to be a form of escapism from real life. " the faces look lifelike" "you don't ollie that high in real skateboarding" does it matter? It's a video game! enjoy the feelings! destroy the realism! more games where a single jumpo can clear the moon, and where faces look like dog's dinner! Wheter a games realistic to me or not isn't important.

when games are supposed to implicate realism then people check how realistic they are, when you get something totally unreal, people check the gameplay, and the people who moan that the graphics or realism is terrible it's because they prefer real(ish) games.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
