There's little doubt that the Xbox 360 is the cleaner, crisper experience and for the most part it commands a small but significant frame-rate advantage and fewer little glitches; especially outside of combat scenarios, the game just seems to run that much more smoothly.

However, there are parts of the game that seem to be brutally unoptimised, bringing the performance level crashing down to the point where the afflicted sections become almost unplayable - a variable 15-20FPS update in an intense fire-fight is hugely disorientating, and this makes Crysis 2 one of the most inconsistent performers released in recent times.In these situations, it seems that it is the Xbox 360 version that has the most difficulties, though there's no mistaking that both platforms seem to lag badly in much the same areas. Interestingly, the really poor-performing sections do seem isolated to specific areas in the campaign, and from the hive infiltration level onwards things seemed to improve, but it's quite difficult to believe that those areas of the game got through QA without someone, somewhere raising the red flag.

 

^thats pretty poor performance for a game a small handful claim best grafix ever!

Performance may not be the best out there but visually and technically Crysis 2 is in league of its own

yep it couldnt get into the big leagues where U2, KZ, and GOW3 reside

Crysis 2 is in the big leagues, but it is more of a designated hitter.

He hits the most home runs and drives in a ton RBI's which is fantastic, but does average/below average in almost every other aspect.

 

Killzone 3, God of War 3 and Uncharted are more on the lines of a 5-tool player. Can hit home runs, drive in a ton of RBIs and also does extremely well in almost every other aspect.

One has top notch graphics.

The others have top notch graphics, very high and stable frame rate and little to no graphical glitches or buggy AI.

I would say that God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 have little to no glitches and buggy AI. Killzone 3 has a few glitches and some pretty stupid AI.

I don't remember reading reviews about Killzone 3 missing shadows, texture pop in, object pop in or bugs. However, the game was a bit easy, I admit that. I had more trouble with Killzone 2.

So yeah, Killzone 3 AI may not be the best, but I don't remember it getting talked down on like I am seeing with some reviews of Crysis 2.

It seems to perform much better overall.

 

Not taking away the fact that Crysis is probably still very fun to play, but from all the hype Crytek gets I expected a bit more from their engine.

I still want to play it though. Gamefly hasn't shipped it yet.
