The difference is that the lighting gets less detailed, there are no fancy after effects like glow and soft focus, etc, and less graphics smoothing, but the game still works well! And "4" - "6" is about the same as "high quality" in Sam & Max. "7" - "9" are modes which include the special fx stuff we started using in Wallace & Gromit (the aforementioned soft focus, glow, etc). The game tries to scale itself to your video card settings. It will inevitably be a little more demanding than Sam & Max or Wallace & Gromit, just because there is more going on in a scene than in Sam & Max -- we're trying to make the worlds alive instead of so static with lots of animation and details -- but they should be reasonably close for most people, if you adjust the settings.
i love that you guys have provided high and low end graphics settings. that's the perfect way to do it. i'm planning on getting a new comp soon, so i'm looking forward to replaying these with higher graphics.

i highly recommend for anyone to lower the graphics settings until the animation is perfectly fast and smooth, though. it's well worth it. i was trying to play it on 6 and it was slow and arduous. when i slid it to 3, it was a joy to play and still looked great.
