"Uncharted looks better than Gears. Resistance looks about equal to Gears from the two screenshots given. I don't really like Gears though. The soldiers look and act just like bulkier Sam Fisher clones, and although the scene in the picture above for Gears is well-lit making it look better, most of the game actually takes place in dark environments where you can't really tell if the graphics are good or not...most of them don't impress me much more than the last gen XBOX game Max Payne, and for some reason the makers of Gears thought that the fact that they could get a significant portion of their game to only use 2 colors -- black and white -- was a wise artistic decision which I don't find to be the case.'"

"You just pissed away any credibility for a non biased comparison with that statement..."

 

     No, I didn't.  The reasons I list above contribute greatly to the reasons that I don't like Gears.  If Gears didn't do the things that I mention that I don't like about the game, then I would like it better.

 

    I wonder how many of these Gears heads that seem to enjoy the game so much have played Uncharted or Resistance in their entirety.  I've played Gears right up to final boss to see if I could find anything great about it, and there really wasn't that much.  Maybe the rush of the action at spots, but I've seen better.

I have played both (beat Uncharted and played a lot of RFoM). I thought Uncharted was fun for what it was but RFoM left me feeling very flat. It was a pretty generic shooter IMO. I have high hopes for the second game, though.

Gears is still my favorite console shooter this generation. Personally, I thought the game was brilliant for what it was (ie. another space marine shooter with a heavy online bent to it).
