Graphically, the game looks good, but falls short of the detailed display Sam saw on Xbox 360 last year. Players who ran through the paces in Microsoft-land will notice a slower framerate and the loss of a few small details (things like a smaller quantity of fights during the prison riot, different textures on character close-ups and no goggle-toggle when tossing on Sam's specs).

There are other areas where Sam and company suffer from a bout of PS3 hiccups too. In some instances, for example, snow falls everywhere but the top left-hand corner of the screen; Sam's hands occasionally clip into walls while he hacks at a wire; and the camera will sometime flip out as our hero climbs across a pipe. These miniscule glitches are forgivable, however, and it's actually quite fun to pull enemies into icy ponds, crack safes and hide in the shadows. Plus, the PS3 gets two additional multiplayer maps and a female spy that the 360 never saw.

The more expensive console should have better ports, i have a feeling this has something to do with the complexity of the Cell.

Almost all multiplat games look better on the 360, it's to be expected.

Forget PS3, I don't think UBI has done well on any Sony Console. They truly are overated.

The Xbox360 version is reviewed by a different person to the PS3 one. And the guy who reviewed the 360 version claims that he's a guy who loves stealth games. Naturally, there's going to be a bit of score difference.

That said, doesn't surprise me that the score is lower, it IS Ubisoft porting the game, and the PS3 is supposedly a pain to design for.

Worth noticing the Wii version got a 5.5, for the record :?

I think that it's kind of pathetic that the PS3 did not get a version of the game that has gfx on par with the 360 version. I love Splinter Cell games and I hope that UBI tries to push the PS3 the next time around. That's if they have not done so already.......

Most of the game manufactures state that at this point, NEITHER console is running to its full potential.  Both consoles need more dev time before they really start humming.

 

When we get to  MGS4 and FFXIII vs. Halo3, come back and we'll really have this conversation.  Until then (at the least), it's pretty much irrelevant.

Too bad that they aren't as talented as Bethesda. Then again, the PS2 vs. Xbox (one) Ubisoft always favored Xbox then too.
Overall, the big surprise of the next five years will be IF ANY PS3 game by UBISOFT is better than the 360 counterpart. They just aren't as talented and Sony didn't make it any easier for them to want to try anyways.

True, the PS3 does get two more maps. Unfortunately, those maps are coming to Xbox Live via an update or downloadable content (free). Hahahahaha. Xbox 360 wins. Again.

No, you should of stated it like this.  "I have a feeling this has something to do with the inefficiency of the Cell"

Rack up another of the countless wins by the 360.

Difficult to evaluate, since they knocked a whopping 1.1 off the 360 review while saying that the games are identical and the graphical differences minor.

DirectX based games like this are hard to port. The devs have to emulate or remake all the PC effects that PS3 cannot support. Once all the companies mature their dev kits there will be nothing but little differences or PS3 will come out on top. Plus I seriously doubt they put their best team on a 6 month later port job.

Well the test will be when VF5 comes out on 360...I think thats the first game to be ported from PS3 to 360.... If the 360 one ends up looking better, I dunno what to say...Ill probably tell me PS3 to go sit in the corner and think about what it has done (or did not do)

Please stop. You blame Ubi why? almost every multiplat game has been reviewed and is better on the 360. I remember a few cows talking about this game and FEAR,RB6 going to be better on the PS3. Guess they were wrong.

Especially if you consider the fact that all the "superior" mulitplats for the 360 have mediocre games anyway...while the PS3 has so far gotten the trophy for the games that actually matter...like Oblivion.

They had an extra few months to work on the PS3 version....if they can't manage to push out the same or even better graphics on a more powerful system then they are clearly being lazy. So yes it is Ubisoft's fault.

HAHA Fear's 18 months old, and still not on PS3 :lol:,  if it doesn't have better graphics on PS3 thats just pathetic
