What? It's nothing like saying you can get Doom 3 to work on a c omputer from 10 years ago.
You said you weren't expecting expansive environments because it's on a console, but there are many console games with HUGELY expansive environments, The Getaway, for example has 27sq kilometers (I can't recall the exact #) mapped out down to a T, using photographed textures of every building, letterbox and shop-front without ANY load times no matter where you go in the entire city. But you're right, it's a console game so it's environment mustn't be very big?
