Trying to go for the look of games like Quake really doesn't do it for me unless the system is powerful enough to go all the way. I'd rather have more stylized graphics than an attempt at a blunt 3D world. What tends to happen with games like this is a lot of bland texturing and low-detail models. The same goes for systems like the DS. They do (and look) a lot better when the games have slicker, thicker graphics, rather than try to imitate a 3D setup on a PC game. And d-pad style controls on a touch screen is not going to do our hands any favours :( Although I admire the effort, I really don’t think these kind of games and graphics are really right for the iPhone.
