Galaxy does look better but not way better just slightly better.

Its like comparing GTA san andreas on the ps2 with the Xbox version. Just a slight upgrade.

Legend have you even played the game yet? There isn't even a valid comparison here, SMG looks hands down better side by side. Its pretty obvious from this video and even then the video itself actually does a poor job in showing the strengths of SMG, especially the work it did with specular highlights and specular reflections and lets not forget the downright fantastic job they did with bumpmaps.

Just to help folks without a technical background understand what these things are I will demonstrate with some pics from wikipedia.

I also really liked their fur shaders....

You seriously need to get off your SMG bashing bandwagon and, if you don't like the game that is fine it is your choice but at this point nobody can really take you seriously with these posts anymore. /sigh

What load of ****. These are not even in game, they are all CGI. You fail.

(I hope you get the joke)

Nah, don't worry. They didn't even show 1/10th of the game! =P

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Refer to various technical analyses posted above by various people.

Have you played both games? Or just looking at this horribly representation of a video?

Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players

Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability

Therefore, Checkers > Halo

So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.

I think it's sad,that Nintendo supporters are falling into the trap of defending SMG graphics against someone,who obviously don't have the passion to enjoy a videogame like most of us do.
