Okay, so I think most people would agree that for the Wii it's Super Mario Galaxy 2 (I haven't played it yet, but it's improved over the original, which was previously IMO the best). For the PS3 it's undoubtedly Uncharted 2 (which is also IMO Console Graphics King).

The Xbox 360 has had a couple of great looking games come out recently. Specifically I'm thinking of Alan Wake and Mass Effect 2. There's also Gears of War 2 and Banjo Kazooie (one people might not have thought of). I think those games are up there with the best of them. What do you guys think is the Xbox 360's graphics king at this point.

Couldn't you have just said "What 360 game has the best graphics?" That way you could have left out graphics king.

I definitely think RE5 is a game that doesn't get much recognition when it comes to it's graphics. One of the things that game has over a lot of other games (Alan Wake, ME2, even Gears 2 to a degree), is consistancy. Sometimes these games look amazing in one part...not so much in other parts. I think RE5 manages to consistenly impress me.

Maybe I should have done that, but it really doesn't matter...sooner or later the "It doesn't look as good as this game!" or "Too bad Mass Effect 2 isn't exclusive!" arguments will come up, which will make whatever I said totally irrelevant. So I don't worry about wording as much as I used to.

Gears 2 now, Halo Reach, Gears of War 3, and a possible Rare game in the future.

*waits for theseekar to come in and say how there is no correct answer other than Alan Wake* :roll:

I haven't played Mass Effect 2, but everything I've seen suggests that's it's the best. I've only played Gears 1 and seen Gears 2 played by some friends. Gears 2 looked really good as well.

The best looking 360 exclusive is still Gears2 but i would say Alan Wake is close. Still, the most technically impressive game on both HD consoles is Red Dead Redemption imo.

Batman Arkham Asylum. May not be the "Technically best" or whatever, but seeing the close up of the Joker's face while he was mocking me and grinning like a psychopath is the possibly the most impressed I've been by graphics this gen, I think.

Gears Of War 2. At the start RE 5 looks awesome, but the fascination fades when you learn that you must stop in order to aim and shoot.

I'm not too sure. It's close between games like Gears 2, Alan Wake and ME2.

Probably Gears 2. Even though I HATE the Unreal Engine, there's only 2 games which impress me which use it; Gears 2 and Batman: AA.

what is wrong with this forum? forza 3 is the best looking console game other then uncharted 2 but forza 3 runs at 60 FPS.

1- forza 3

2-gears of war 2

3-i cant decide. alan wake, RE5, banjo nuts and bolts, modern warfare 2, kameo, and red dead could all make a case. RDR and banjo are technically impressive but rare's games are artistically great. modern warfare 2 and bayonetta lookk great and run better then most games. alan wake looks awesome at night but its ugly during the day. id pick rare's games if it was my choice.

The game is far from ugly, but it's also far from impressive, I'd put it slap in the middle.

Either Gears of War 2 or Alan Wake. I think Gears of War 3 is soon to be the next 360 graphics king.

Gears 2? Which is really sad because that game wasn't even all that impressive back in 2008 with tons of PS3 titles looking better, years later and the 360 is still failing to impress.

Gears 2, which is easily comparable to the Ps3s best looking games.

From what I have seen of Alan Wake, that would make it the best graphical game on the 360.

Call me crazy, but I think RDR is one of the best looking games on the platform.

I haven't played AW but yeah, how did I forget RDR, it is quite phenom looking for a open world sandbox game on console - no doubt.
