So is Mass Effect 2 the best looking 360 game?

To quote the review on this site:

'Graphically, Mass Effect 2 is an improvement on the first game, but not a major one, and while the game looks good it does not compete with the top contenders in visual fidelity on either PC or Xbox 360.'

Given I quoted it, it probably comes as no surprise that I completely agree with it. I've completed the game twice now, and while I disagree with some of the conclusions of the review, the above is pretty much exactly spot on.

Well if you're comparing screenshots, it might not look much of different. But that quote doesn't mention the epic improvment in performence. Some examples would be the environments are much more detailed and larger, there are far more characters out at once, texture pop up has been greatly improved, the frame rate is much smoother, etc.

The original Mass Effect had some glaring technical issues. Such as blurry textures and low detailed models while they were loading. And sometimes the frame rate was so choppy you couldn't tell what was happening. That all plays a roll in how ME2 is a huge improvment visually.
