Blasphemy, The Use of Bloom is excellent for once. The Resolution is amazing, try zooming in on anything in the theater mode. Seamless loading and Not even a hint a slowdown, ever. even [spoiler] when two huge behomeths explode simultaneously. During the Beta I said the same thing that everyone else was saying, “it looks kinda like Halo 2″. But Truly the graphics are flawless.

Lets keep in mind, this is supposed to be “THE SYSTEM SELLER” for the 360. This is the game that has to go out there and take the walk down the catwalk and get the general public to drool and lust after it. The past Halos have done it. This one is not as impressive as other titles. You really couldn’t say that before 3. Maybe this is a case of other companies catching up? It does seem like the game is missing a little in the “spice it up” department, but it is undeniably fun.

Maybe we are getting too demanding as gamers at this point?

GOW is stylistic, Halo 3 is not. The only way you know it’s halo 3 is the purple covenant junk lying around. It feels like halo, which has always been devoid of any sort of stylishness.

I’ll take this post in as “boy, i wish they would have spent less time on the gameplay and more time on making it shiner, so I can show it off to my neighbor when he comes over”.

I like the graphics better than GOW. Not everything is gray and brown and all shiny.

Also, a lot of the computing power goes into the physics of everything. Have you noticed that if you ram a skinny tree with a Warthog it shakes? Plants shake and move when you run through them. Watch the grass and tree leaves sway when a strong breeze comes through. The world is ALIVE and colorful. Most things in GOW are just there. Sure the graphics are pretty but they are non interactive.

The only problem I have with the game is the in-game dialog. For some reason I can never hear what anyone is saying during the cut-scenes. The music drowns them out; turning up the volume doesn’t help b/c the music level goes up right along with it.

I agree with you on the graphics; it’s not as visually pleasing as GoW, but you have to find a balance with the limitations of technology: You can have a big, massive game with a lot of cool replay value features and not that great in graphics, or you can have a smaller game and great graphics to compensate for the dvd disc size.

I think they felt that the graphics weren’t as important as the gameplay in my opinion.
