I believe them...seem like the engine has a very light shell which you could put all kinds of levels of detail, textures, polygon counts. Unreal 3 engine could also be ported to 3DS, but it wouldn't look as good.

My thoughts exactly and it's not like Unreal Engine 3 makes many pretty games to begin with.  The list of good looking Unreal Engine 3 games could be done on one hand but versus the number of games that actually use it, the fact that so few look really good is rather staggering.
