PSU.com - 8/10

http://www.psu.com/Crysis-2-Review--a011074-p0.php

"The main area where Crysis 2 really does excel is the graphics. Stand the game's sprawling urban environments head-to-head next to Killzone 3’s junk-yards, jungles and space-ships, and Crytek’s shooter just about edges it in terms of overall visual impact. Stunning character models and facial animations, huge draw distances that span across the horizon and a meticulously modelled interpretation of Manhattan are all quite stunning. Away from the fighting, you're also rewarded for exploration with dozens of collectibles to find, such as dog tags, New York souvenirs and car keys. It's worth heading off the beaten track anyway, just to enjoy the scenery, but it's quite an addictive mechanic searching for these hidden objects".

That makes 2 reviews that say it tops Killzone 3.

If you look carefully they say its best looking shooter so not exactly the graphics king.

And I just looked, for killzone 3 they didn't call it the graphics king either



So Uncharted 2 still retained the crown?



Gamespot mentions a lot of visual glitches and texture pop-ins and frame rate problems, they  aren't that impressed.

So its close but not the best.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

IGN PS3 Review 9/10

Like Xbox 360 review except graphics:

"8.5/10  - Crysis 2 looks great on PS3, but a worse framerate, lower resolution, and missing effects compared to the 360 release hurt it. PS3 owners expect more."



I just saw it

It's one of the most beautiful games I have seen on consoles. It's more pleasing to the eyes than Killzone 3.

Gametrailers 9.1/10

GiantBomb 4/5 - "The game's best visual trick is light bloom, which makes the indoor-to-outdoor transitions look nice, but the game also does this a few different times, with each subsequent use of the trick being less and less impressive. Also, it's easy to see the level of detail popping back and forth between low and high textures, and some objects, like bushes or small posts, completely disappear if you get far enough away from them. In a game with cloaking, where you're constantly watching for another player to decloak in front of you, the vanishing objects get a little more aggravating than it would be in most other games. But that definitely doesn't mean that Crysis 2 looks terrible. Artistically, it's really nice, with good-looking environments and decent, albeit repetitive enemies. The lighting and shadows are well-done, also. But if you're coming to Crysis 2 expecting Crytek to raise the bar and blow you away all over again, you might be disappointed with the way the console versions perform." 

GiantBomb desappointed with graphics.

Oh and theres supposed to be frame-rate problems on consoles according to Digitalfoundry.


Dude give it up. Reviews are pouring in and some are saying its the best looking console game while others are saying its up there. I've played the first 45 minutes of Crysis 2, beat Killzone 3, and beat Uncharted 2 twice and so far Crysis 2 is the best looking console game I've played.
