I just thought it would be interesting to hear different peoples opinions.
Characters have facial expressions, their cloths and hair are affected by the wind, you can interact with everything in the surrounding environment. Each grass in every bush was made independently. When inside a building you can see rust on the floors, walls, cupboards,...
The whole game feels fluid. Other games make you feel that all things are solid polygons that just move around. Even Eva's boobs respond to her movements ! The lights in the game are unbeatable. Try being close to an explosive barrel when shooting it in first person view (But not too close so as not to get hurt), the explosion feels so damn realistic. The guards make you feel as if they were made from flesh and blood, their bodies have absolute fluidity. Sokolov's leather Jacket really feels like real leather. I think that the game has squeezed every bit out of the PS2's capabilities. I'd like to say that I can't wait for MGS4, but unfortunately Hideo Kojima won't write or direct it.
I also think that Burnout 3 and MGS3 also have great graphics.
