It’s engine is superior, but you’ve got things mixed up: it’s not graphically superior on the PS3.
If it was, it would run better than KZ3, but it doesn’t.
Screenshots are a huge lie because they can’t reproduce constant 15FPS framerate drops in action-packed scenes.
I enjoyed Crysis 2 more than KZ3 by a milestone, but Crysis 2 really needs to skimp down graphically for the PS3 to be able to handle it. The game looks phenomenal, but maybe tone down some textures to the CoD level just for the point of running better? Nobody would really care, we’re not textural trolls on the PS3 like PC gamers are.

So if the PS3 and 360 versions are similar, we know 2 things:

1) This is by far the best looking game on the 360 by miles
2) That can’t be true, since the best looking PS3 titles cannot be pulled off on the 360. It would be impossible for both console versions to be comparable, and this being the best PS3 visual title, since again, the PS3 visuals for years cannot be done on the 360. Look at Uncharted, Killzone, etc. etc. etc.

In reply to Axe99. 100% agree. It has it's moments where it's ahead of other graphical monsters, but they are few and far between. Low-res textures, pop-in (especially on the PS3 version), and inconsistent framerates truly dampen the experience. I stand by my sentiments that God of War III is still console graphics king, but I can understand most saying it is (currently) Killzone 3 on PS3. It's just, without a doubt, not Crysis 2.

It does look good, I’ll concede that. But Uncharted 2 looks absolutely gobsmacking – and I’ve heard that (at least in the PS3 version) Crysis2 drops to as low as 20fps. That is simply unacceptable, regardless of lighting/large backdrops and nice colouring (yes, I’m Australian).

I would say 1. Uncharted 2, 2. Killzone 3, 3. FFXIII, 4. Crysis 2 – And before you ask, YES I’ve seen them all first hand.

Sidenote, I have more fun and excitement in 60fps games regardless of resolution which is why I still play Cod MW2 to this day if I want to shoot guns. Graphics aren’t everything.

While the ‘best’ parts of Crysis 2 (when you’re a decent distance from the textures, and not on the move, and it has an opportunity to take advantage of its stellar lighting) are as good as the top-notch PS3 exclusives (Uncharted 2, Killzone 3), it can’t match their consistency – there are other times when it has some pretty obvious pop-in, (relatively) low-res textures, and limited environmental effects.

But Uncharted 2 is a clear notch above this, and KZ3 is most of the time. Crysis 2 is still a great looking game – there’s plenty of room to be below U2 and KZ3 and look good – but it is absolutely not the best looking PS3 game. Best multiplat probably though.

In reply to Jack. you can repete to yourself thaht a multiplatform game can compete with kz, or other ps3 exclusives, but don't lie to others....it's like hoping ps2 to have better graphics than the best on xbox.

It’s cleraly inferior (graphic/tech) to the best ps3 exclusives, but it’s just logic, a multiplatform gampe with both version looking similar can’t compete with ps3 exclusives, like xbox exclusives have nothing to compete with gow 3, uncharted, killzone, heavy rain, etc…just a powerfull hardware.

you can let xbots imagine they have a game with graphics on par with ps3 exclusives, screenshots can trap them (a little), but don’t show them the games on a good tv set, they will cry..
