To be fair Shadi, as silly as it is - review quotes are often used as ammunition here in SW.

"Alan Wake isn't the graphics king, no one said that in a review!"

"KZ3 is the best looking game on consoles says so and so!" etc etc. :P

I dunno. I played the MP Demo on my brother's Plasma recently. (Pier 17) Looked pretty crisp to me on his set. First match locked up on me though. lol

When people talk grainy graphics... Silent Hill 2 comes to mind.

To be honest I haven't played on that map, only Skyline. And people were saying that Pier 17 is a much better example of the graphics, so I'll give it a whirl :P

Don't see the point of putting something like that on the front of a case. You'd think they would put "Best shooter" -IGN, or Best Multiplayer - Gamespot. But instead they chose best graphics, I don't see a lot of people paying 60 bucks for that.

I saw that at my local GAME. If the SP looks anything like the PC version (judging by the MP demo, it looks quite close, sadly :(), than it's easily the best looking game on consoles.

I wonder what will it say on the PC version!

It would be worse than the "press start" fiasco. The "best looking game on consoles" on a PC game cover would make Crysis' forums explode!

I almost want for this to happen.

That's debatable with Gears 3.

Anyway, during the time of the quote, the PS3 version was not shown to the gaming press. Again... This is a multiplatform title. They could have easily put that it's the best looking game on the Xbox 360 like what IGN said in the preview.

Just to add, "The best looking game on console" is grammatically correct and implies console as a whole, comprising of 360/PS3 and Wii.

CorbraMax

they can't say that about the ps3 version since there is more better looking games on ps3 than this

and i think gears 3 might take the crown from it on the 360 gears 3 will be the best gfx on xbox360 thats what i hope for

@DreamCryotank:

Don't even bother my friend. No matter how often you put the evidence in front of some people's face they will continue to deny and spin. Those comparison shots make KZ3 look like poop... seriously.

Don't forget this golden quote from IGN...

"Thankfully, it looks like most of the graphical issues we saw at Gamescom last year and last year's multiplayer beta on 360 last year have been worked out, as Crysis 2 is clearly in the running for best looking console game out there. It's the atmosphere and lighting that really impresses. Levels are huge with a ton of routes and traversal options, and the constant shifts between darkness and daylight in Skyline, the level included in this week's demo, in particular are striking."

The actual CVG quote is from April 2010, almost a year ago. Back then people hyped Crysis 2 to be the best looking console game.
