Not sure HVS would make it suck. It's not as though the gameplay looks revolutionary (doesn't have to be, it's just not far beyong what HVS has done), and the in game graphics don't look really detailed (again, they don't have to be).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
