Terms like the KZ2 killer, and the new benchmark are being used to describe LP 2 all over the internet forums. It still has 1 year of development left. To be honest most of the internet has recieved LP 2 with open arms. Calling it simply stunning. And well it's definately amazing. It has by far the best explosions over any current game. Check out the smoke and balls of fire. Also the shockwaves on the vegetation. Nothing like that currently out. All this running with a huge boss and awesome detail. Very impressive.

Point me to a serious analysis, those internet forums are delusional. Really, LP2 is technically not up to par with Gears 2 from what was shown in those trailers.
It looks good as a whole, it's smooth and I like the vegetation.
But please look at the details: there's no proper dynamic lighting from the rockets or other moving light sources, nor from the weapon muzzle, the particles follow a simplified physic and only collide with the ground, the explosions and blurs look like bidimensional posteffects. The gila-like monster sort of looks good, but it's all a bump map and a specular map, and the same was true of a giant bug I saw in the jungle trailer. The models are unremarkable.
Graphically I found it flashy, but not really particularly impressive.
