I think the graphics were brilliant for their time and still are brilliant today. Updated graphics don't necessarily equal better atmosphere. The atmosphere created by the graphics in the voodoo curio shop and St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 are especially beautiful. I truly felt like I was in New Orleans.

However, the imagery of Schloss Ritter in GK1 is nowhere near as fulfilling as the same castle is in GK2. While GK1 is excellent at making the player feel like he/she in New Orleans, GK2 does exceptionally well at making the player feel like he/she is in Bavaria.
