It sounds like they chose performance over quality, and succeeded. Otherwise, there isn't much excuse for lousy shadows in a racing game (racing games having very constrained environments, which allows for generally great graphics).

(see http://images.eurogamer.net/assets/articles//a/1/3/0/4/5/7/0/Dodgy_Alpha1.jpg.jpg for an example). That being said though, I do think the modelling (of the 200 premium cars) and shading is top notch and add a lot to the experience compared to the previous iterations of the series, but as you said, resolution is probably the main factor there. Also, it should be noted that Uncharted 2 is a 30fps title, where God of War 3 and GT5 (mostly) run at 60fps.
