Lens of Truth: The Godfather II Comparison (720p)

Lens of Truth writes, "We finally found some time to compare both versions of EA's Godfather II for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Having never played the previous version of The Godfather, we really had no idea what to expect. But to our delight it was a very close port, but one was slightly better. So which version makes you an offer that you can't refuse?"

[Droid Smasha]

360 sweeped it

SUCKA

[xbollox]

i just paused killzone2 for a mn to laugh at your sorry ass: it almost feels like you think we do care what you say

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA!

sad douche with no games

[sak500]

Hmmm lemme guess?? Is it 360? Any surprises??

[Soul Train]

No surprises here. The 360 having the better multi plat version of every game is pretty much a fact now. Some people just don't get it though.

[be_wrong]

this website always lean on the 360 being a winner :P in every game they compared the results are always the same :p i think even a ps3 version vs a ps3 would still result to the 360 winning it :P

[Shogun Master]

:P

[ultimolu]

How about they both look the same and 360 fanboys need to get over that.

[Unicron]

I like how the most subpar games are always compared. I wonder if they'll compare the coop modes for Ninja Gaiden 2 on the PS3 and 360 when it hits.

Ooops.

[Danja]

the graphics in this game isn't even great , so why does this matter when both consoles have proven to produce better quality graphics already ???

[Dragun619]

You Know what you don't get, Soul Train?
That Gears of War or any Xbox360 game for that matter has yet to surpass Uncharted graphics.

Other than that, this game looks the same on both consoles.

[DelbertGrady]

@be_wrong - They don't lean towards the 360. Check their history.

@ultimolu - But they don't. And you can't get over it.

@Danja - It matters to the people who payed more money to get what they thought was the more powerful system and then found out most multiplat games(yes people who are not hardcore fanboys as yourselves actually buy multiplats) look better on the cheaper system.

I really like this game. Not because of the graphics, although steady framerates and sharp textures are always nice to have. The whole strategy part lifts it to another level and the blackhand controls are awesome.

[Danja]

and im pretty sue most of the ppl who bought the most expensive console expecting the best graphics aren't disappointed because it does have the best graphics..

and no one buys a Console based soley on Multi-plats ur argument is rather weak.. everyone knows devs aren't gonna make on version purposely better than the other no matter how much more powerful a console is....

Uncharted came out in 2007 and it still looks better than every 360 game.....soooo I guess Sony delivered

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Dragun: Get that wack azz comparison out of here.. Those are some of the worst Gears captures I've ever seen, they don't even look like all the textures have drawn in yet.

http://pixelperfectcomparis...

That one is still not that good but at least it's better than that lame link I keep seeing pasted all over this place.

[7thNightvolley]

i should believe the ps3 fanboys should be use to this by now. personally the graphics of the game in general is crap. but i am just wondering what was ported to what ps3 to 360 or the other way around. anyway. if i do get it its a rent as best.

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

The issue of multiplats looking the same or slightly better on the 360 has nothing to do with the PS3 and EVERYTHING to do with developers and the money making imperative.

Also...'better looking on the cheaper console'?...for MANY PS3 owners the feature set offered is what they want and can't be replicated at any cost on the 360 and if you tried to get a reasonable facsimile of the PS3 experience the 360 is much more expensive.

[cliffbo]

turn off full RGB and... well what do you know!

[evildeli]

They just gave Wanted to the PS3 so I don't think they lean any direction. Maybe this game just looks better on the Xbox.

[ArthurLee]

Nice video and sick explosions in both versions.

[CryWolf]

Its sad that developers have bump down the graphics on ps3 just to make 360 look good.

[Soul Train]

That was funny...that was a joke, right?

[Whitey2k]

what the hell i know i have a ps3 but the game is a cruddy ass port that suffers from frame rates and pop ups

[Baron79]

I hate these cheap GTA knock-offs. Great article LoT.

[evildeli]

I totally agree. I like my GTA and Godfather separate please. I wonder how Coppola feels about his movies being turned into "games".

[Shogun Master]

Shougun Master hates the Godfather, sorry. Great vid.

[ikral]

Yea PS3 is weaker platform and no way it can run GT5, MGS4, Uncharted or Killzone2. XB is soooo goooood. Its the best console ever, most quiet, reliable and offers lot more than the others. it has free online play, wi-fi, everything. Good work, Bill gates.

[HDgamer]

Wow another fanboy comparison. Comparisons are useless to the real gamers although this game isn't really that good either. I'm sure plenty of fanboys will argue over something so silly as graphics from a 3rd party website looking for hits which I guarantee will receive.

[jaidek]

Actually comparisons should be very useful to real gamers. Why wouldn't a "real" gamer, who owns both consoles, want the better of the two games? I sure would. I agree that this game probably isn't the best to argue over, but the fact of the matter is that the Xbox 360 version did have less visual issues (frame drops, pop-up) and that makes it the winner.

And the purpose of any website, 3rd party or not, is to receive hits.

[HDgamer]

We both know thats a complete lie. Fanboys need graphic comparisons to assure that one version is "superior" to the other although it does nothing for gameplay. These frame rate drops that "you" can only see but not everyone else, the invisible screen tearing, the anti alias that most people don't know what it is. It's very funny when I play these games I don't see any of these things.

[Strife Lives]

I couldve gotten it for my 360,but Ive reached the conclusion that both wouldve sucked the same.what a waste of time for this ps2-esque game.my little bro plays it though.Godfather 1 is better.

[ArthurLee]

-

[DelbertGrady]

Just because it looks slightly better on the 360 it automatically becomes a bad game?

[HDgamer]

No it's a bad game merely because it's very repetitive meaning you will do the same thing over and over again. Take over enemies fronts, kill made men, destroy their don, move to another city, repeat. I bought this game and well, listening to an early review of the game wasn't a good idea.

[BIGBOSS08]

its good for godfather fans like me but i have to say if you aint a fan this game is not worth playing at all.

[madkrazygames]

good point, but these H2Hs are just to add more fuel to fire on this never ending fanboy crap.

[DelbertGrady]

I don't agree. It doesn't do a good job of resembling the Godfather movies. It doesn't even follow the story and most of the voice acting is pretty weak. I'm a big fan of those movies but that's not why I liked the game.

I liked it mainly because it has all the side missions and strategic gameplay that I missed in GTA IV, plus better aiming and controls. And because I enjoy good sandbox games.

[evildeli]

I think the H2H's are here to keep the consumer from being lied too with games when they look completely different from console to console. If you don't like the H2H's go to the rest of the game reviewers where they show one image to represent both consoles.

[Strife Lives]

It looks terrible.and the cars handle like blocks of butter on the road.the maps are small,and they've recycled so much from the 1st game.this comparison is pointless purely because this game doesnt flex the muscle of both the 360 and PS3.Geow1 is far more advanced graphically.

[HDgamer]

I would say a ps2/xbox version of splinter cell looks graphically better than this game.

[BIGBOSS08]

i remember seeing that site tons of time beofre and their reasoning is always the same! ffs they both look virtually the same, whats wrong with you people and how can 360 fanboys get all happy over a mp looking better on 360 when all the ps3 exclusives make 360 games look outdated? i think ps3 owners take mgs4, killzone 2 and all the other exclusives over a multiplat game where the 360 versions main character has an extra hair on his bloody head!

[mrmikew2018]

for the last couple of H2Hs it was in 360 favor on this site, but these are bunch old men nitpicking about bullsh!t.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

KILLZONE 2 WINS!!! ;-P

(Lens of)Truth??? On the internet??? ;-D

[Intellivision]

The Godfather 2... Xbox 360 vs PS3 version and you guys say Killzone wins lolol.
Thats just very sad...
The point is, Godfather 2 on Xbox 360 is BETTER than Godfather 2 on PS3....
SIMPLE.

[-MoOkS-]

They know the 360 version is better.They just don't like to admit it, because it would mean they bought a $600 console that can't produce a better looking game than a $200 system.

[tudors]

the worst Gears screens they can find to do a comparison with Uncharted? that shows the insecurity of some PS3 fans, they have to use screen where the textures is still filling in, anyone knows who has played gears that somtimes there is ma half second delay in the texture fills....grow up you sad people.

[Eddie20101]

I have Gears Of War 1 and 2 and there great games, it was the best looking console game around when it came out, that is until Uncharted came out, but since then there have been better looking games come out and there nearly all exclusive to PS3.

Even though Gears Of War was a great game it did have its issues, like texture pop-in, low frame rate, stuttering cut scenes, and low rez textures. Gears Of War 2 they fixed most of those Problems, but the multi player was buggy as hell, which most reviews didn't even mention.

With the God Father 2 the games are virtually identical and even with what minor - if even real - nit picky differences they point out, you would never notice playing the game.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

yeah I admit it looks better....And?

firstly its multiplat = IT FAILS
its made with the 360 in mind = IT FAILS
exclusive 360 games look like PS2 games compared to (E)-PS3 games = TRUE

our $600 system can do more and then the SHIATBoX & it has better looking QUALITY EXCLUSIVE games then your over priced garbageBoX3sh1ty which fails to provide even 1 exclusive title that look better then Uncharted1,

GodFathers meant to look sh1t that's the whole point, because its meant to be a 'quick sell and get profit' title which means they'll work on the easiest console first and then use the PS3 'just for the sake of it' to make the ps3 version quickly or even just port it over from the sh1tBoX
