As we know Far Cry 2 is available on both the Xbox 360 and the Sony PS3, and both versions of the game are good in their own right. Ubisoft’s FPS looks great on both consoles, but which one of the two has the edge.
This video comparison will hopefully let you choose, they both have their strengths and weaknesses but what one will win out in the end. When looking at the action, the Xbox 360 is great keeping up with the fast action sequences.
From a distance there is not much to choose from between the two, but when you look at the close up details the Xbox 360 lets itself down, the Sony PS3 close up details looks smooth. See for yourself in the video comparison of far Cry 2

So basically…
PS3 - Better Textures
360 - Better Framerate “the Xbox 360 is great keeping up with the fast action sequences.”
I couldn’t really tell much between them in terms of graphics, the only difference that really stood out for me is the additional load screen on the 360 version at about 2:20 into the video.
From what I’ve read in reviews the 360 has a lot of these little area load screens that break up the flow of the game, the PS3 by comparison has no load delays between areas…
you can run it at 1080 p on xbox 360 but only 720p on the ps3, other than tht they r identical
I would have said that the 360 looks like it has a slightly higher resolution - when the caracter looks at his watch / compass you can see the individual minute marks more clearly on the 360. This makes some of the images on the PS3 look slightly fuzzier. There are alos one or 2 scenes in the jungle where the range of colours seems to be slightly greater on the 360. But other than that I can’t see any difference, and none of the previous items would detract from the game play. I would say that you will enjoy the game regardless of what platform you get it on. Personally I will probably get it for the PC.
no…ur wrong…ur t.v is just crap if you think that…
i own both xbox 360 and ps3 and bought this game on both consoles ….
ps3 version looked bettr…. and framerate on ps3 is much better than xbox 360 too.
however, xbox is awsome due to the selection of games…
xbox 360 = kinda budget
Hmmm look the exact same i bet the guy that said that owns a PS3 because no one here can see WTF they mean!

you can try to hide it but your a fanboy the 360 has always and will continue to out do the so called powerhouse
god i hate these f**king comparision things its totally f**king pointless, unless your a person who plays both console on two tellys side by side! get a f**king life, who gives a f*k, buy what 1 you want & f**k off & play it.

at 2:20 that is not a load screen. because he was sprinting after a short while your screen goes blurry.
Did any one actually watch this video? Did you not see that bad shadowing on the 360? Go to the near the end of the vid the jungle fight scene look at the shadows on the the guns from the leaves and the Shadows on the trees from the leaves. It looks like they have a web extension not to mention the shadow on the 360 gun pops.
I’ll even point it out. 2:00 you can even pause it. But check the leaf shadows on the wall of the building.
