Why are people having so many issues with this game? I have a Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz, 2x8600GT in SLI, 4 GB RAM, on Vista 64-bit. Game runs very smoothly, end-turns wrap up under 10 seconds (unlike 21 seconds for their quad-core), and the only time I see texture loading is when loading back in to a saved game.

Comparing a ported game is a waste of time. They design it for the 360, and then port it to the PS3. Obviously this means they will be the exact same. Compare UC2 to the best in-house Microsoft title. We know who wins that one.

These comparisons are a waste of time. Every game is designed for the 360 and then ported over to the PS3. Therefore, the devs don't utilize the PS3's power because there is no sense in coding two different games because the 360 can't match it graphically. The only comparison you need is Uncharted 2 compared to whatever in-house game that the 360 has that looks best. And we all know who wins that comparison.
