Well, it's fair game to be comparing graphics for this generation of consoles. Don't forget that Nintendo played the graphic card in the last generations, Gamecube having better graphics than ps2, N64 having the best graphics over Saturn and PS1, Snes having the best graphics over Genesis. Only in this generation have they been left out of the graphic race, but maybe in the next one they will be right in. Also Miyamoto is a graphic lover, no other game in the Wii line-up comes close to matching the graphic power of SMG, that game almost made me feel i was playing a PS3/360 game, but as i said, in older generations, Miyamoto's games were the ones with the best graphics out there.

OT - KZ2 graphics are top notch, easily surpassing Gears2 IMO (And as you can see, i have played Gears2), but what really takes it a step further is tha playability of that game, i feel like it's the Counter Strike of console FPS.

I pic halo for being too shiny! Although it wouldn't be right if I compare them all to GT5. They'll just be owned....

i completely agree with lestatdark, KZ2 is going to be like counter strike and its multiplayer is going to last a long time...

For me, graphically: Halo 3 > Killzone 2 > Gears of War 2 > The Conduit > Gran Turismo 5.

I know GT5 is good from a technical view, but it's boring. Halo 3 looks damn fun (haven't played it).

Yeah i really felt like it can become the CS of console FPS because of the tactical approach that the game has, combining that with the classes system that all the Beta players praised, then it's gonna be great =)
But that also will mean that some FPS players will not get into the game, because they are used to the Run-And-Gun gameplay and will take them some time to adapt (me it was natural, after playing countless CS games)

You base your graphical views on how fun a game looks then? Interesting.

Anyway...

Killzone 2 > Gears 2

Halo1, 2, or 3 > The Conduit

GT 5 > All the above

Well yes. Isn't that the point of graphics, to make you enjoy the game more? I haven't ever played Halo 3, but just by looking at it I want to play it. I love the art-style and the colors. The leveldesign just looks extremely fun.

Gears 2 and Killzone 2 look best, The Conduit looks superb for a Wii game, but still someway off HD (this isnt a criticism, its fact, of course HD games look better) Gran Turismo 5 is insane graphical realism and Halo 3 looks good too

Gears and killzone are at very similar levels and lol to the guy saying if you zoom in the textures are lower in detail!!!!

Games are designed to be looked at from a certain distance (which differs from tv to tv) what matter is what a game looks like when you're actually playing it, no-one plays games sitting 1 mm away from the screen.

Thats like saying an impressionist painting is crap because you can visibly see the brush strokes when you're close to the painting. Its not only a stupid way to judge it, it demonstrates that you don't understand what said painting style is even about!

Personally I can't comment much further about the games because I haven't played killzone 2. It looks great though.

The conduit win hands down ;). Let's be honnest, this graphics comparaison is totaly useless. All that games on the above look great and let's be happy with that...
