Thats just ugly because smooth shading is missing, with the flat
shading it looks of course rather blocky. Anyway, polygon count really
doesn't matter all that much, just look at a doom3 model:

They are extremly edgy too, but due to some kickass bump-mapping and
shading that doesn't really matter at all.
