Crysis 2 Xbox 360 Preview
We may as well get right to the point and say that, no, Crysis 2 doesn’t look as good on consoles as it does on PC. Electronic Arts and Crytek would probably like punters to believe that it does, but the reality is that there’s just not enough graphical grunt in Microsoft’s beige box (which is now five years old and still aging) to compete with modern PCs when it comes to pushing polygons. You’re deluding yourself if you think otherwise, frankly.
That’s not to say that the Xbox 360 version of Crysis 2 looks bad, though. It’s just that, while the preview builds of the PC version are recognisable as the best looking game we’ve seen, the Xbox 360 version just looks like another console shooter. The texture detail is lower, the anti-aliasing is lacking and all the fancy, gee-whiz touches that will make even the newest graphics cards baulk are entirely absent.
