I agree the jaggies are terrible in this game, and it makes the graphics looks pretty bad at times; often it seems like I'm playing on last-gen. That said, if I can manage to look past the jaggies (which isn't that hard), the graphics are spectacular. I'm impressed with the graphics much more often than I'm disappointed with them. 10/10? Maybe not. But still pretty damn awesome.

Nah, right before a rain storm for instance the colors get washed out to the point where the picture looks very bland and almost black and white. I wouldn't mind this but it can last in excess of 15 minutes and it just detracts from the overall experience of the game.

Are you serious? I've had it rain night and daytime..and it looks great! No where near black and white!

If there were less jaggies the day time scenes would look great. But these game sites always hype up games its nothing new.

I've been A/Bin this puppy and to be VERY honest the truth hurts. the PS3 version IS better. In texture quality and lighting. the ONLY thing that the 360 does better is the anti-aliasing which takes away about 30 percent more of the jaggies. the PS3 has a blur effect going on but that is remedied but just upping the sharpness and then it looks even better than the 360 versions clarity.

PS3 you sexy thing

That's not to say that BOTH are comparable BUT both are not if tweaked to their best possible settings, thats when you see a difference and yes you HAVE TO set it to 720p on both. the fact that it's 630p/640p on ps3 is completely mute on ps3 as far as resolution worries.....

The 630p = the blur effect

I agree with the original op. There is nothing special at all about the graphics. We can forgive the creators based on the size of the world but at any time if I compare the graphics on my TV to another PS3 game, I would say the other game would probably look better. A 7 or 8 at max would be a more appropriate score imo but to each his own.

MLB 08 graphics simply blow this game away, but got an 8.5 in the graphics category. Is there a certain setting that I have set wrong, because I feel that GTA should look a lot better than it does.

Ever heard the term "payola"? By the way the ps3 is 640. IMO 90% ign reviews are suspect.

No. The PS3 version plays at 720p but was made at 640.

However, due to this the PS3 frame rate isn't locked meaning it can go over. The same isn't for the 360 since it is locked at a max of 30.

I ONLY see blurriness when it's raining(like its supposed to) foggy etc. i see nothing on clear days or night. i just turn up the sharpness by about 20 and hit on the noise detection and I'm good...

must be your set?

Just because you might love a game doesn't mean everything should get a 10. For me a 10 should be reserved for games that look absolutely fantastic and can match any other game out there based on graphics. Do the people that think this game deserves a 10 consider this one of the prettiest games on the PS3/360?

ocarina of time was a 10 so GTA4 IS a ten... case closed.

ocarina of time was great at the time and so it gta4.

to me I'll take gta4 graphics over bioshocks anyday. GTA4 is more realistic just like sports games that attempt the reality of a stadium etc.
