I honestly thought I was the only one...GeoW1/2 Graphics

You might like the art direction of Gears 1 more, but the graphics aren't "better." Epic didn't spend millions of dollars making the graphics and engine worse.

 

 Sorry, I guess I should have clarified more...but yes...I guess I would say "more realistic".  The second looks more "Uncharted"-like to me...definetly beautiful, but not as "real". 

Again, this is no knock on the game, I loved the game.  But while I was playing it I kept being underwhelmed compared to how I felt when I played the first game (in the graphics department).  I thought maybe I just remembered "incorrectly" or something, but now I'm thinking its just the different style Epic took.
