Did you even look at the pictures makingmusic posted? Killzone 2 has much better character models, but I'll give the edge to Gears of War for textures. Killzone 2 also beats Gears of War in terms of particle effects and lighting. I mean, the game looks so damn good.
But it's hard to compare a TPS and a FPS. In a FPS you get much closer views of the characters as well as needing to render and animate a POV gun model. Which means that for every gun in the game, you need to have 2 models (one the POV model and one the world model). That just adds to the workload and memory requirements of the game. It might not be a huge difference, but there IS a difference between TPS and FPS.
Look at the 2 pictures that makingmusic posted. The Gears of War model looks terrible upclose compared to the Killzone 2 model. BUT you don't ever see the Gears of War 2 model that close because it's a TPS so there's no need to add any more detail to it than it already has.
