i got it for ps3. so far id give it an 8.4.

it looks great, but honestly i dont think it really compares to games like uncharted, killzone, and god of war.

there's just too many graphically inconsistancies. pop in, frame rate issue, low res textures (especially plants), and not the strongest of character models. it makes me really scratch my head at sites like ign. i just dont see it. crysis at its best is one of the best, but the problem is, it often isnt at its best


That is because you are scrutinizing every single detail which you didn't do with Killzone 3 and Uncharted 2, but now that there is a contender you want to find faults. Nothing will ever beat a PS3 exclusive in your mind so there is no point in trying. Just the thought of a game that runs on the 360 that looks as good or better than any PS3 exclusive bothers you and plenty others on this site. The fact remains that over 10 sites have called it the best looking console game or as good as anything out there.

um no.

also most reviews have mentioned these flaws that i mentioned in crysis. killzone frame rate was rock steady with no screen tear, with tins of stuff going on. its ai was praised. and little to no pop in. i didnt have nearly as much plant life, and the little amount it did, was higher res than crysis. i why would i care if crysis looks better than kz3. i own both, its all the better for me, if it was

Bolding a statement and saying no doesn't make it false.

It's lot more than one mere site thats pleased with Crysis 2 on consoles

"best looking fps ever"

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-03-22-crysis-2-review

Eurogamer

"But it is a world whose intricacy and realism will cause you to stop and stare long after the first drop of the jaw. The sway of tree-tops; the spray of a decorative fountain; the flames erupting from a burst gas pipe: incidental details that grab your attention for their quiet, shocking realism. Who knows how Crytek managed to squeeze Cry Engine 3 onto the consoles while maintaining such extraordinary level of detail? But this world sits next to Uncharted 2's as the most detailed and well-expressed yet seen on our TVs.

The games visuals were just jaw dropping and I have to agree when Crytek says it is setting the bar in console gaming graphics. Just wow."

Though about the millionth FPS built around a plot of an alien invasion, give or take a few, it's also the most beautiful.

Naturally, the gameplay is all wrapped up with some of the most gorgeous visuals you'll see in a videogame.

Crytek wisely sticks to the traits that made the first game successful while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity.

Crysis 2 is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, even on PS3 and 360.

http://xbox.gamezone.com/reviews/item/crysis_2/

Gamezone

The game looks utterly stunning and is arguably one of the best-looking shooters on consoles. I'm still undecided whether Crysis 2 looks better than the original game, but the fact that there is a discussion about which looks better speaks volumes on what Crytek was able to accomplish with their engine.

It might come up slightly short compared to Killzone 3 in raw mettle, with an occasionally inconsistent framerate on our PS3 version, but the game is leagues ahead in terms of artistic accomplishment.

Crysis 2 is bloody gorgeous, and by far one of the most polished games we've ever played. Watching the cityscape come crashing down around you in all its HD glory is quite the sight, especially in some of the more open areas midway through the main campaign. Whether you've diving across rooftops or making your way into the heart of an alien hive, it's all jaw-dropping throughout.

Gamerevolution:

Somehow the team over at Crytek has found a way to make their sequel just as visually remarkable as the original and without the need to spend a fortune on a fancy new video card and extra RAM (on the console at least)

Crysis may have been the benchmark game on PC but for console owners there might be a new kid on the block as Crysis 2 really is a sight to behold.

Although Crysis 2 swaps an actual jungle for the urban variety, the level of near photorealism remains. Despite the impressive scale the attention to detail is second to none: from hedges that shed leaves as you run through them to the filtering of light through a half-destroyed wall. That all this is running on a middle-aged console, not a state of the art PC, only makes it more impressive.

Bolded and italicized are the sites calling it the best looking console game and/or best looking FPS on consoles. The rest are saying its up there with the best.

 

as this has been pointed out numerous times, only about 4 of those sites, say it is the best looking.

the rest just say it is up with the best. posting quotes of reviews doesnt mean it is the best either


Yes at least 10-15 say its the best or up with the best. So I think its a pretty compelling argument against you saying that Crysis 2 doesn't even compare to Killzone 3 and Uncharted 2. Call of Duty doesn't compare to those games. Crysis 2 is on a different level than COD. Crysis 2 is on the elite console graphic level. You don't think its the best and thats fine but don't exaggerate and say it doesn't even compare. I think its the best so lets call it a stalemate.
