One is a forest that you travel through at high speeds. Anytime you are speeding through an area, it will have considerably less detail than it would otherwise. And even with that being said, the forest looks great.
The other shot is a rendered screen (read: not what you'll see when playing the game), with a photograph in the background. Ignore the cannon, compare it to the rocks along the side of the track. Those don't look too hot. Also, that is a high-res screen, designed exclusively to make the game look better than it actually is. PS2 can't output at 720p. The game runs in 640x480, which will be considerably less detail.
