Yeah, there's realistic and then there's realistic. It a type of 'realism' that grounds it more in real life to suit the theme than that of say Mario where no attempt at realism is needed or made because of its theme, and so you can change direction in mid air etc. Obviously this type of realism it only goes so far.
