haing only played the demo of this on the xbox I thought it looked quite good, but then not as good as "Gear of war" even though it was the same engine.

Now "Gears of war" looks better on my xbox 360 than it does on my pc, but my graphics card is for 3d not games (even though it still plays most with out a problem) so maybe it just a PC thing. It still looks good - dont get me wrong but I feel it looks more moody on the 360.

The only problem I have with the whole normal map thing is there are now too many hero characters with silly facual scars for no reason other than it looks cool in zbrush. Gone are the days of the good looking main characters.
