you posted that, ima showing da boxart printed in the last week from da upcoming review

and genre leading in places, means its not in others - i think "best looking game on consoles" is pretty final

i don't think crytek woulda been happy doin corridor shooters, its moot newaus since they the "best looking game on console" even when the game not exclusive lol

How can it be the best-looking game on consoles when it runs at sub-HD resolution, crappy AA, and an average framerate of 15-20 fps in some scenes (on both the 360 and PS3)?

This is compared to God of War 3, Killzone 3, and Uncharted 2, all of which actually run SMOOTHLY.

CVG are and always have been a bunch of morons.

For what i have seen thus far , i can easily say crysis2 is just as good as killzone 3. I have and clocked killzone on veteran in 6 hours ( which is very short) and the only stage that showed actual beauty and had alot of stuff happening in the background was teh ice level and possibly the mawlr battle ( bear in mind there was only one robot and your friend ai. 

Apart from that the textures in killzone 3 most of lime were of los res especially when you went up close to take cover. For me killzone 3 was nly a slight graphical enhancement of killzone 2  and i have played both. The Ai in both games are still retarded. For me killzone 2 was overrated and got an overrated score as killzone 3 is a better game and should have ghotten a higher score.  Its definetely a better game than black ops . Story for both black ops , killzone 2 and 3 were crap though in my opinion. The lighting in crysis is miles ahead than killzone 3 in my opinion

Both games have artistic value . Crysis 2 artistic value is showing a destroyed version of new york city. To me teh game depicts it beautifully. Killzone 3 supposed to depict a dark grim world with alot of destruction , a world that is different to earth. That was also depicted verys well. It all comes down to personal taste. You may like killzone 3 artistic styly while others prefer enjoy crysis 2 art style . 

" but no artistic value to the whole scenery. Its just buldings everywhere"

What about killzone 3 . Most of killzone 3 consists of stages filled with desert looking type land filled with tonnes and tonnes of rubble. I don't see how thats any different to the tonnes of buildings in crysis2. Remeber the urban area in crysis 2 is supposed to be new york city and we all know that new york city has plenty of buildings.

"If a game relies on sunlight to look good then that game doesn't look that good at all"

Most of killzone 3 relies that as it covers up the low res textures . When there is much lighting you can see the visual blemishes in the game.

it looks like crap on consoles, so much gloom.

'framerate of 15-20 fps in some scenes (on both the 360 and PS3"

Spurce for that? The videos i seen so far have showed no slowdown. Apparently there is  a framerate problems on the ps3 version.

"crappy AA"

How did you come to that conclusion? I have played all the ps3 games you have mentioned and to me crysis2 AA is just as good as the other games. I have played UC2 recently and i noticed quite a few lo rs textures as well. Don't get it wrong the game is beautifully but not the console graphic king.  In all honesty when i was playing killzone 3 i experienced quite a bit of slowdown. It didn't ruin the whole experience but was annoying when it happened. 

No special effects like the sky in killzone 2 and 3. If you look at salamun bridge in killzone 2 there's no special textures or any light but what's impressive is the clouds and the lightning effect, and yes there's high res textures on the ground as well on KZ2.

Crysis 2 is all buildings, have you looked at how the buildings look at when looked up close? No because you can't reach them.

And AA is obvious, temporal AA is a very inferior AA to MLAA and MSAA, KZ2 especially had 4x QMSAA due to which Aliasing is very hard to find in the game. KZ3, well, lets not go into MLAA because that's like 8x-16x AA and is comparable only to the 8x MSAA on the PC.

So if you had problems in differentiating in AA then its obvious you weren't looking that hard.

KZ is unmatched when it comes to imagination of the scenery. Completely alien world, unlike crysis which is real life just like Uncharted.

see i never saw this way of thinking. Just because something looks better on one platform doesnt mean it looks shit on the other

Please stop.  You don't own the game on console (you may have the pirated PC version but we are talking the console version here) and you certainly haven't played it all the way through so quit spouting BS.
