Gary Oldman's a sterling old British actor (not that old, Gary, sorry) and he looks rakish and rough, and... no, we'll stop that. Anyway. We're surprised that, although the resemblance is good - helped no doubt by the poodle hair and similar pose - the game's art team has made Oldman's character look less rugged and more, well, puffy.

The 'tache, too, looks a bit more twee than in real life. They've certainly got the hair nailed, though. Just look at that fringe, bobbing over his stern, intelligent forehead like... Okay, time to move on.
