Meh, I can't be bothered going on another long search, here's a teeny pic:
You can't really see the lack of polygons in that pick though, which (from memory) is fairly telling.

The size of the environments is very much so a part of the "graphic quality". Would you prefer a game set in outdoor areas to have Doom 3 quality textures, but with a thick layer of fog a few feet from the camera, or lesser quality textures, but you can see all the way to the horizon. Spotting birds flying in the distance, and waterfalls, and NPC's etc.
The grand scale of Jak & Daxter is what makes it a marvel to look at, regardless of the "lacking" texture quality.
