| VAMP said: I played a couple of games on the 360 version at my friends house earlier, then I went and bought the PS3 version, took it over to his house and played 1 game. The difference is noticable, but it's by no means a deal breaker. You can tell that the 360 version is smoother during the gameplay (I thought they looked almost the same during the cutscenes). While I was actually playing, there wasn't that much of a difference in the gameplay or the animations. The difference is even less pronounced because I was concentrating more on the actual gameplay than the graphics. If you're just watching and not playing and you can pay attention, you can notice that there is a difference in smoothness. Overall I think they're pretty similar. I would say, in my opinion, that the PS3 version's visuals are good (above average) and the 360's visuals are great. When you compare the 2 the 360's obviously better because it's smoother, but this doesn't mean that the PS3 version is bad. On it's own, that's to say if the 360 version didn't exist, the PS3 version is pretty awesome. It's just when you compare the two that the PS3 looks inferior (though not by that much). I think it's more hype than anything. |
Thanks for your review. I did notice minor differences when watching the gamevideos side-by-side comparison, but I did not think the differences were as big as they have been hyped to be.
If I had both systems, I'd definitely get the 360 version, but if I liked Madden more than NCAA (and I don't), I'd still get it for my PS3. This does make me feel better about the NCAA game, however, so I look forward to getting that for my PS3 (I like dynasty mode more than playing).
What is good is that both games have all the features they should have except for online leagues, which 1UP and IGN continue to push for. How IGN scored the graphics higher for the Wii than the PS3 even though the reviews say it looks as good as the PS2 version is beyond me, though.
