"Technically," as in the game engine, not so much the art style, is there a game that can be said to be the best looking on the 360?

So far, I haven't seen a game better looking than Ace Combat 6. Maybe Mass Effect. But Mass Effect 2 will take that title next year.

I found the FarCry 2 engine to be excellent even though the game itself was mediocre.

Yeah I have it on PC (reviews said all 3 platforms were nearly identical). It's a very pretty game, but it plays like crap which was very disapppointing.

I'll advise you not to waste your money. At the very most rent it for a day or two.

Your loss I guess. :P Ah, yes. Far Cry Instincts on the original Xbox was fantastic, imo. I actually preferred it over the PC version.

Everyone has their own opinions. I think I'll really like Far Cry 2. And Instincts Predator.

Dont bash Farcry2 like that, its not for everyone thats true, but with enough info, briefed on the situation, a person can really find this game interesting, thats what i did and im playing for the 2nd time now. Yes it has some flaws, driving can get annoying but the way it plays, plus the freedom, weapons, graphics..its just awesome. Now to answer the main question, maybe Mass Effect, Farcry2 and Gears2. ill just wait for ME2 :P

Yeah, this is off-topic in my own topic, but "interesting"? Being told to kill the same clone target/truck 100 times is not interesting. Traversing identical landscapes is not interesting, getting attacked at every intersection, and having to travel across the map for every mission is not interesting.

i meant the whole exploration, weapons, all the little details like wounds, broken weapons, fire, Africa, fps fans cant say no to this game, at least at first. Then i understand that some, or a lot from what ive seen dont enjoy it, but hey, people are different, therefore opinions and tastes are different. Though i have to admit that it took me a while to get back to farcry2.

Some engines do stuff better than others, Gears and RE5 have awesome characters, but the environments aren't anything special, same with Mass Effect.

The Gamevryo Engine used by Bethesda can display some beautiful looking environments as in F3 and Oblivion.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena did some amazing things with lighting effects for a console game.

I would say RE5 with gears being a close second.
