I must say that the underground levels in Gears 2 were absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic back grounds, fantastic lighting, and awesome action going on in the midst of all the fantasticness.

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts



Going back and playing some of my old collection now that I have a HDTV reveals a lot...

Eternal Sonata - Horrible animations and game, but fan-friggin'-tastic cell-shading
Mass Effect - Was this really 2007? Really? Looks very good on an HDTV with the film grain off



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Wow that PGR4 video looks like real-life!  Its a very good looking game.  

I would say Halo 3 has underrated graphics.  Its actually a very good looking game, and the draw distances are amazing.  Hell i might even take a video of Halo 3 campaign today on my brothers 42 inch HDTV and show how gorgeous the game looks.



I've thought that the graphics in PGR4 are great since I started playing it, which makes me pretty excited that Forza 3 will reportedly be leaps and bounds above it. I also agree that Mass Effect looks really great in places as well. The one cut scene on Wrex's planet (?) when you have the argument with him and actually see him out in the sunlight stands out the most for me, it was amazing. I was also let down a bit by Gears 2 visually, mainly due to all the hype it got/gets. Not to say it's bad looking, which it's not of course, but it still has a long ways to go before looking semi-realistic.

I also have to mention one thing. A lot of people that do not have HDTV's comment about game not looking good. It was made to be viewed in HD. it's like watching a Blu-Ray on a TV with an RF adapter



+1 for crackdown. Just started playing it again after I beat Infamous and for its time crackdown was great. Lighting and drawing distances were good and there is always alot of activity on screen. The best thing about the game is the explosions you can create. I often throw many cars and gas tanks into an area and shoot them with the rocket launcher.......the frame rate stays steady.

I must be one of the few who liked the visuals in Ninja Gaiden II. I love how enemy corpses stay on screen even after you leave a room. I wish they could implement the same thing in god of war.



Wow, PGR4 graphics are amazing. I think Forza3 is starting to get the credit it deserves. Forza 3 in my opinion looks to be the best looking game on Xbox 360. The cars look SO REAL.



Im really liking Splinter Cell: Conviction's graphics, I wish that game was for PS3 though :(.



Unreal 3 looks just as good as gears.

But wtf selnor, i see many people complmenting Xbox 360 games, if your talking exclusives then those to!

If anything though LP2 looks the best looking "Graphical" this year of 2009 next to KZ2.
