It's arguably the best looking game on consoles.. but between God of War 3 and Crysis 2 it can go either way...

However tecnhically, it is an impressive but disapointing game, it is much more advanced than most games(in lightning, textures...), however the low framerates(overall better on the 360, but in stress situations better on the PS3), some graphical minor issues (shadowing on the 360 for example, which looks very blocky and ugly), and the awfull AI draw a simple conclusion, it is a very pretty game and technologically takes 2 steps forward but also a few steps back.

The diferences between consoles are subtile, and if weren´t for the lower resolution the PS3 would look much better, the shadows are softer, the Texture filtering is better, the PS3 version is v-synced, the water is said to look much better... however the console versions are fairly similar, and if it weren´t for the PS3's low resolution (in comparison to the 360 version,, since there are scenarios is which the resolution is a lot worse.. aka..Black Ops) there probably woudn´t have been so much criticism to the game .

I also add that there are still two games that can be amazingly lookin.. one is uncharted 3 (obviously, and those who saw the last trailer surely agree...) and Gears of War 3, which by my opinion looks wonderful too. My pick will go to Uncharted 3, it will simply look amazing as ever... Not forget Killzone 3, that game looks absolutely astonishing and in my opinion , taking into account both technology and artwor.. it is much more appealing than Crysis 2.
