Forums - Microsoft Discussion - So is Mass Effect 2 the best looking 360 game?

Like Forza 3? That's even better graphics. Honestly, Mass effect is about RPGs, the story counts.

I think Modern Warfare 2. If you dont think so, then you need a new TV. I ve watched my friends play ME2 and MW2 on their 360

Hell yes. It's the best on any console IMO. Animations are in a field of their own. But it's the whole presentaton as a package that nothing else touches. Amazing.


Is it really that good?

I think in terms of in game graphics that Forza 3 just slightly out does it. Its sort of hard to compare though because its a different genre. Part of me though thinks ME 2 out performs it because a CG human face that looks realistic is harder to re-create then a CG car.

MW2's graphics are so bad.. I don't see how ANYONE could compare it to a high quality title as Uncharted 2 or Forza 3.. the last 2 titles have so much superior graphics its insane

Personally yes. It's wierd with ME2. It's not just graphics, but camera work, sounds, soundtrack. It all just polished to an amzingly high level.

No it's not, Selnor just let himself go as usually :).

The art direction (i.e. presentation) is superb, but with the setting beeing sci-fi, it's not really that hard to look more interesting than let's say reality setting. But Mass Effect created universe of it's own, with their own spieces, technology and more. And all that seems like it could actually be real, like the future. So not "science fiction", but "time travel".

TBH graphics from technical standpoint aren't that impressive, it's Unreal Engine with all it's pro's and con's. While alien character models looks really good (Grunt is the best), human models are average at most. The "hard" lighting of UE is there and in some places it feels really weired (every single talk with Elusive man, his face looks like it's made out of stone). It doesn't have such impressive particle effects and animation as Killzone 2 or setpieces and polygon count as Uncharted 2.

So my conclusion could be: best presentation value for what it is, great graphics but nowhere close to the best
