Re: Farcry 2 to have smoother graphics than 360...
An excerpt of the IGN review of Far Cry 2 PS3 Version
Quote:
8.0 Graphics
Impressive effects and a huge overall world. Framerate issues here and there, and the character models can look pretty bland and generic.

So either IGN have just taken the time out to copy and paste the article or both versions and reviews are near enough identical
Another excerpt comparing the PC version to the console version
Quote:
Another noticeable difference between PC and console versions is the drop in visual quality. Ubisoft Montreal's Dunia Engine proves to be quite scalable on PC. Even on rigs closer to mid-range the graphics settings can still be set relatively high and the performance is smooth. On consoles, the lighting effects that sparkle so brilliantly on the PC aren't as pronounced, the framerates more jittery, the edges on weapon models not as smooth, and some of the shadowing nowhere near as detailed. That being said, it's not like the game looks bad on consoles. You still get a wide open expanse of terrain, from waterfalls to swamplands to desert plains to dense jungles, and full day night cycle and dynamic weather systems that can, occasionally, produce some spectacular vistas as fog moves and the sun burns angry orange before the sky goes dark. The character models aren't going to win any awards with any version of the game, and overall it certainly isn't up to the level of visual brilliance of Crytek's Crysis or Crysis Warhead, but Far Cry 2 ran better on our rigs.
