Sound and graphics don't make a game. :-)
Actually, I thought their graphics wasn't that good.
Perhaps they spent all their efforts on bleeding edge special effects. ( Kinda like Battlefield 2042, sure it can look pretty, but does it really need to be anything more than what it was in Battlefield 1942.. )
The polish here is in the game mechanics, the front end controls and display, its all leaps and bounds beyond BAR who appear unable to see much into the future, or maybe they don't play many other games to pick up good ideas from.
There could still be improvements here too mind you. :-)
But this is really the best.
