The very first level (the one in the demo) doesn't really do justice to KZ2 regarding the complexity of environments and objects. I wonder if in later map packs we'll see some of the maps from KZ1, as those included vegetation. More qualified critics and devs have repeatedly explained why KZ2 stands out technically, I stand by the opinion that it shows :)
My nitpick was just that Gears 2 is usually given the upper hand on a technical subject (texturing) only because of a style choice (hyperrealistic, whereas KZ2 strives for realistic).
It's a style choice that works well for it, mind you, the game looks beautiful.
