"Crysis 2 is outstanding in almost every department, not least its visuals, which are the very best either PS3 or Xbox 360 has to offer right now"

http://beingnerdy.com/gaming/5-games-that-look-better-than-uncharted-2

"Crysis 2 is the best-looking console/PC game to date."

Also IGN again belives Crysis 2 is the best looking game on consoles

"The first Metro was very pretty. 4A plans to push PC hardware to its limit with Metro: Last Light. It also wants the sequel to be the best-looking game on consoles when it is released (look out, Crysis 2!)"

"Crysis 2 is definitely the best looking game on consoles and PC"

"I honestly think that this may well be the single best looking FPS I've ever seen,
on any platform. It really does look that good."

XXLGaming:
"The games visuals were just jaw dropping and I have to agree when Crytek says it is setting the bar in console gaming graphics. Just wow."

joystiq:
Though about the millionth FPS built around a plot of an alien invasion, give or take a few, it's also the most beautiful.

gameinformer:
Crytek wisely sticks to the traits that made the first game successful while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity.

1up:
Crysis 2 is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, even on PS3 and 360.

gamerevolution:
Somehow the team over at Crytek has found a way to make their sequel just as visually remarkable as the original and without the need to spend a fortune on a fancy new video card and extra RAM (on the console at least)

I got 10 saying it's the (very) best and 3 or 4 saying it's as impressive as the PC original (unless you want to argue KZ2 looks better than Crysis 1? XD). 1 that says it's the best looking shooter and another flat out saying it looks better than KZ3. So i'd say 15 in it's favour over KZ3

There are no reviews saying KZ3 looks better, only better than KZ2, setting a new benchmark (pre-C2 obviously) or "one of the best". There's one lolworthy comparison by VGC associate LoT based on 2 things - Framerate and Resolution- That's it.

15:1 is pretty final

and dont now why you bring up Uncharted, its native 720p with AA, locked 30fps, and 0% screen tear. why do you bring up the resolution of split screen multiplayer. do you honestly expect it to be 720p splitscreen, even though thats not possible because there arent enough pixels on a TV.

Um, I just posted a 720p game that supports splitscreen, it's 5 years old. Both its sequels support it too.  2x 640x720p images fills an entire 720p image. Simples. . It is possible, just not possible in Uncharted apparently...Maybe next gen.and i'd serious check some fraps vids for what you called "locked" 30fps, it drops from 30fps to as low as 24-26fps when stressed.

and if you are using Digital foundry as a trusted source, then why are you claiming Crysis 2 is the best looking, DF made it clear that it wasnt.

They said no such thing, they said: "The crucial thing is that both are phenomenally attractive games, producing effects quite different and in many ways more advanced than anything we've seen elsewhere on console. We all wanted Crysis on console to be an event, a showcase release: by and large, Crytek has delivered, and those cutting edge visuals are backed by a truly impressive game design."

DF have never compared Crysis 2 to Killzone 3 except in referential in regards to 3D methods. 

Now I would think that being "in many ways more advanced than anything we've seen elsewhere on console" (this includes KZ3 and all games preceding it) and "cutting edge" as pretty high praise, given KZ3 had barely been out a month. It certainly doesn't lend itself to them making it clear that it wasn't the best looking.
