Reasonable on 19 May 2010
Depends how you look at it. Visually - i.e. how well they use the 'whole' to trick your eye into seeing something lovely - I think it slightly edges Gears 2.
Technically - i.e. if I ignore how well Remedy balanced their visual choices and just look at the textures, AA, resolution, etc. and squint at the screen then Gears 2 is probably still ahead, mainly due to the higher resolution and certain areas of textures.
They're very different engines, though, so it's not the best compare.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
