I have finished it. So I wont talk to much. But from the end of Episode 2 onwards, it's seriously engrossing. You wont put it down till you finsih it. Episode 4 has an amzing set piece in it. Pure genius. I also found that the beginning of the game had more tech issues than anywhere else. Wierd. But I also agree, after Episode 1, the graphics seemed to get better and better. Wait till Episode 5. OMG, you will lose yourself in this game.
The end is Epic. And I cant wait for the next Episode on June 27. OF which I have a free code for as I have Limited Collectors Edition.
Episode 3 also shows the daytime scenes looking amazing. You satnd atop a huge hill, and can look for miles in any direction. When you see this rendered, you realsie why some textures are noteably lower. Hundreds of trees, Rivers, environment. You'll see what I mean in Episode 3.
EDIT:
I also agree with animations. Although I would say the only animation that is clunky is the climb up edge or drop down ones. Everything else is pretty damn awesome. Both in gameplay and in cutscenes. Some of the cutscene animations are some of the best you'll see. Barry is amazing in these. As is Alan himslef. Remedy already have updates coming with the first DLC. They have confirmed facial animations and ploy count is already upped for that. But the rest they said will be later. After 30% extra from the 360 with the engine is what they claimed they already have. You can do quite a bit more with that.
