What do you guys think is the better looking game?

I think Uncharted 2 has the better graphics. The animation is much smoother and the framerate never fluctuates. While in GoW 3 the framerate jumps around during heavy battles and Kratos and his enemies' animations don't transistion as smoothly and seemlessly as Nathan Drake and friends. GoW 3 though has a bigger sense of scale and better lighting.

In my opinion, God of War 3. I think the character models, environments and expressions in GoW are the best out now.

It's either Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2. God of war 3 doesn't have that extra coat of polish. I'd go with Uncharted 2 by a slim margin

God of War III is an amazing game to look at, however, it does make some trade-offs by being in 1080p. Sure it is in incredibly high-definition quality, but as a consequence, the textures are not the best out there. Uncharted 2 and KillZone 2 are both in 720p, but both have better textures. Of course, Uncharted 2 is the better looking game, to me at least.

God of War 3 looks great, but it's not quite Uncharted 2 caliber. I mean, the Poseidon fight is probably one of the coolest and most epic scale-wise things I've seen in a game, but doesn't quite hit the graphical prowess of UC2. Which is understandable, I think there's a lot more going on at oncein GoW3 than UC2.

It depends on what you give more weighting to.

Character Modeling Kratos > Drake

Environment Uncharted 2 > GOWIII

To me, they are both visually stunning at times but I would have to give a slight edge to GOWIII due to the detail put into Kratos and his movements.

I dunno, Kratos looked good and all but there's not much to him. I'm not sure how they animated Kratos, but Drake and the cast of UC2 were all done by the actors in mo-cap suits, therefore giving complete realism to any and all animation. Plus the way their clothes hung off them, hair moved, Chloe's ass...er, um, what?

maaan, thats a tough question. id have to say uncharted2. even though i love gow3 more, there were some very bad textures in certain parts.

i will say that gow3 is the first game where i thought the gameplay looked better than the cut scenes. and thats sayin something.

Kratos is the first character that I have ever seen where his muscles actually flex when moving. That brings a level of detail that impressed me. I am not saying that character modeling was bad in Uncharted 2.

I would have to say Uncharted 2 due to the fact that they really pay attention to the finest details.. like little pebbles on the ground.. to cracks on the walls.. I mean, it's not that important but I have to give them props for really putting it out there. Extremely high level of detail and polish.

Character model goes to Kratos though.

GOW3 definitely looks better..I tried to go to Uncharted 2 after playing and beating GOW3 and it was touch. I was so used to the detail in God of War 3.

I think both of them look amazing. There were parts in both games where i've said "Oh that's the game!? I thought it was part of the cutscene". I was blown away by both, but if I have to choose which one I think looks better i'll go with Uncharted 2. Kratos's character model looks great and the lighting and scale in GOW3 is awesome, but Uncharted 2 is good looking all around imo.

I think Uncharted 2 had the better graphics overall. God Of War 3's graphics are amazing, but were less consistent. I thought some of the character models were not good as they could have been, like the ones for Hera and Pandora.

Somehow I think Just Cause 2 needs to be in the discussion. The graphics obviously aren't quite at the level of KZ2, UC2 or GoW3, but for a game with 400 square miles of completely explorable terrain, it's pretty damn amazing.

Uncharted 2 looks fantastic but the detail in GOW puts it over U2 for me.

Close call between KZ2 and U2. Tbh, I find GOW3's graphics extremely average. RE5 even looks better.

I wish GOW3 was full 1080p. It only runs at 1290x920. What does Uncharted 2 run at? Is it full 1080p? FF13 and MGS4 are the only two games that i've played or know that are full 1080p.(their was an NBA game i believe.)

Both games look awesome, but, I think, God of War III is much better.

KZ2 for gun modelling and its high technical standards UC2 for vistas, general modelling (especially characters) and art style. GOW3 for scale. So i guess in that order too.

Killzone 2 by far for me. But GOW3 and UC2 graphics are outstanding.
