BioWare is on the record in stating that the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 has enhanced visuals.

"One of the first things you're going to see is improved graphics," game producer Jesse Houston said during a recent BioWare podcast. "We actually created the engine for Mass Effect 3 and used that to make Mass Effect 2 PS3. So we took the content, the story and all of the other assets that made up Mass Effect 2 and we put it into the Mass Effect 3 engine."

It stands to reason that BioWare would want to make adjustments to the core engine for what is now a cross-platform project: this is, after all, an extensively retooled Unreal Engine 3. However, direct visual comparisons with the same scenes on the existing Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 2 suggest that not all of the changes are not for the better. There's a curious mixture of improvements, downgrades and swapped out effects.

You basically disproved your own point, because the actual developers >>>> some reviewer's site.

A developer would surely know their own product better

Bioware, like all developers in this situation hype the next installment. Now, i'm not saying that the PS3 version is inferior, but what do you expect Bioware to say? "Oh by the way, we've made compromises and had to downgrade, and swap out effects from the Xbox 360 original." C'mon man...get real.

No, but a normal developer would say something like that all versions are equal and tehre are no advantages in having a different version. However, that the developers have the need to state that the PS3 version is superior shows that there must be some truth behind this.
