As someone who is currently enjoying the Xbox version, I can tell you that - although slightly lower resolution - this looks every bit as good!

You must buy this game.

I knew...

And about the frame rate... I heard it somewhere and never really questioned it, good to see that cleared it up for the main game though...

i am really looking forward to this game, hopefully it will be out around the same time as MGS:Substance so then people can compare them both instead of just going for Metal Gear Solid like most people would have done

I was going to buy an XBox for this game (and Buffy) looks like I've saved myself £200 now.

The advert for the Xbox version was - for some reason - pretty dodgy, and it did seem to show a lousy frame-rate. I'd asked for the game for Xmas, and the adverts were making me wonder if I'd made a mistake.

Happily, though, the game is fine. There's still some evidence, at certain points of the game, of the bad polygon tearing that was in the demo - but it's pretty much been eliminated, and nowhere near as bad when it does occur.

Top game.

Slow frame-rate? I've not noticed that at all in the 3 times I've completed it.
Tsk tsk

I dunno, probably GC, as it has faster frame rates, and all that, quicker loading times.
