Many people have said that GOW looks good because of the Unreal 3.0 Engine. All of the games that run off the Unreal 3.0 engine look like PLASTIC. It is just an effect for it to look "better" but that is not bump mapping, that is PLASTIC. So, it looks cool, sure, but not realistic so GOW and every other game being developed under the Unreal 3.0 engine are dead to me. Now take a GOW screenshot and a Halo 3 screenshot (trailer). Now take the fact that the Halo 3 screenshot is from an early version of the engine (comparing it to what the final version will be). Halo 3 > GOW. Not only in graphics but also in gameplay. I see nothing too bad about GOW, it is just that it is an over-hyped, over-delayed game. Maybe it will pull a Half Life 2 and be a really good game despite being delayed a few thousand times, but it will probably just be a game thats popular for a few days, maybe a week or two, then it will be completely eclipsed by Halo 3.
