Conclusion: In the end it will be the 360 version taking the win in this bout. It was a close comparison with each version taking hold of two major categories. It’s not everyday something as small as faster load times determine the winner, but in this case it was all we had left. Regardless of the official result however, these are two very different versions. While the game did load faster on the 360, there is little doubt the PS3 version looks more polished overall. On the contrary however it was the 360 version that ran more smoothly and had significantly less tearing throughout. Only you can determine which of these two factors is more important to you when it comes right down to it.

The visual aspect of the game goes to the PS3 version for being more polished throughout. Blurred image and less detail really take away from the 360 version. |

Performance was a 360 win hands down. With significantly less torn frames and a slightly smoother frame rate there can only be one option. |

Load times ended with the 360 version taking the win. With an average of times being five seconds faster with neither game being installed it is the obvious choice. | |

The verdict of this H2H ends with the 360 version squeaking by on load times. With each version having their pros and cons it is only natural that the faster version takes the win on paper. | |

I’d have to go with the Xbox version. Even-though the PS3 has slightly better visuals it couldn’t mask the real issues, like performance. Technically speaking, the 360 was a more polished build. |

I agree with Shawn. Sure the PS3 looked a little better but the real problem was performance and loading. If your gonna purchase this game I recommend picking it up for the 360. |

I had a hard time picking a version for this game. The PS3 version looks so much more polished to me but almost 25% torn frames is just to much. I’m going with the 360 on this one. | |

Congrats Xbox, u have proven this crap is slightly less awful on ur platform.
nice rsponse! Lol!!
Crap indeed! Xbox got the best craptastic win on this one. XD
why do you guys keep switching the performance analysis around?
yeah….maybe they need to put colors on it too…or make a sweet redesing of how it shows the performacne details because i also got confused with this one
I just refreshed the page when this showed up. Anyways, I read the Head2Head. A great H2H on a very mediocore game it would seem.
Glad to see that you guys included the infamous “Claymation” finger from the heads up lol.
From the videos you guys have shown, it was clear that this game wasn’t a masterpiece. The gameplay is comparable to playing Goldeneye on the 64 while intoxicated and being beaten by an adolescent chimpanzee.
360 win, although it did, as you guys said look graphically better on the ps3. Oh well, I’m sure any win will make ANDROID happy, so good for him I guess…… at least we know there will be replies hahaha
@ LoT
Out of curiousoity, how do you guys determine what games get chosen for a H2H Analysis? How come no Duke Nukem H2H, or a Catherine H2H (or Heads up)?
360 WINS!!!!!!!
I think its a tie …. for me the loading times does not count only fps and graphics are important and i think the ps3 is better at some scenes and the xbox too .
I want to see a h2h for that sniper game that recently came on the ps3 and was released on the xbox a year ago.
I knew it would get a 360 win the moment i saw gamespot rate the ps3 version lower.
The ps3 version stutters throughout the whole game they say(never good).
You have to laugh at the amount of screen tearing as well.
The ps3 just struggles to do 360 ports, it really does have some shockers like this.
Ps3 to 360 ports work better for all round parity, but then the 360 tends to get the worse version(admittedly only slightly worse).
Long may the games lead on the 360 so we can have a laugh at the ps3 versions(ports)lol
Trashy games such as this and Transformers tend to favor the 360. It’s very fitting actually.
But the trashiest game of them all(duke nukem)favours the ps3
The ps3 has outdone the 360 in terms of ultimate trash game of the year right there lol.
Lmao could not help but laugh at this . He walked straight into that one.
Which is funny because didn’t your heroes, IGN and Gamespot, rate Duke Nukem a higher score than Call of Juarez? Nice try, Android.
PS3 still got the vastly superior version of Portal 2, so that says it all.
ViagraMarine, Eurogamer are my heroes, not gamespot or ign.
6/10 for call of juarez there
3/10 duke nukem
Cheeseburger loving gabe ensured that portal 2 looked nicer on ps3, he put a huge investment into that being the case(it still played the same though lol).
But with psn being down back then, 360 owners actually got to play all the co op online modes whilst ps3 owners only done offline.
So a slight 360 win there as well when it mattered most, the first 2 weeks of release
oh shut up u pair of Nancy’s, cant believe u arguing about this crap game and duke Nukem. lol
they both suck, and one sucks slightly less on each platform.
shit games are shit on any platform, and regardless of the superiority over the other version, as its A SHIT GAME!!!!
Lol ANDROID123 you smoking the crack again?Portal 2 is waaaay better on Ps3 you get steam support and a free copy of the Pc game.Psn was down yes but that does not mean it’s a win for 360, you are a retard to even say that.Eurogamer is trash website as well.Go play your Kinect
Looking at Metacritic, Call of Juarez has an ever lower score than Duke Nukem Forever. Lmao
So when it comes to trashy games, go for the 360.
It doesn’t matter about the almost identicle metacritc score, what matters is one game was highly anticipated(duke), where as the other(juarez)wasn’t really being talked about at all.
So duke nukem is probably the years most disappointing release and the ps3 version gets the win on it lol.
And you are welcome to it
I’ll have u know Android I have been awaiting the release of this game since my birth lol
Dukenukem on other hand, never even thought of it whilst I was in the womb.
Duke Nukem Forever was highly anticipated? Over hyped during the last year of development maybe but definitely not highly anticipated. lol Hell, I played the old PC games to death back when my balls didn’t drop yet but never gave two shits about this installment. lol
So a jackass or two pre ordered the game 10 years ago. Their fault for expecting a completely different game that looked like nothing compared to what we got now. lol
Call of Juarez was actually good before. This is just a massive disappointment when it comes to sequels.
Over-rated? Yes. Highly. But also highly anticipated.
oh not again…for a while your trolling was starting to get entertaining. now it’s just gratuitously annoying, android. you seriously need to add an imaginary girlfriend to go along with your imaginary PC so you can imaginary get laid.
Not interested in this below average game anyway. Another bad port of a story. Years passed yet some developers never change or learn.
Read the Df article on this and it generally seems like a heap of crap overall, but theres some other factors to add to the LOT report.
360 actually is operating at a slightly sub 720p res of 1200×720 whilst ps3 is native 720p. Theyre both using same custom aa method, but due to lower res of 360, the aa appears better.
There are a few instances of lower resolution textures dotted about on the PS3, along with weaker use of normal mapping, but there’s nothing particularly noticeable overall.
360 and ps3 both suffer texture streaming issues, but 360 is worse.
360 has better level of AF.Shadows and fog transition levels are more refined on 360.
ps3 has better lighting effects , with light shafts being more impressive on ps3.
reflections, and smoke effects are better on 360.
360 wins with less tearing and frame rate drops.
Overall a 360 win imo, although its clear there are elements of game that favour ps3, but most the important stuff favours 360.
shite game by all accounts though lol
Its a tie. The game looks like s**t no matter what system it played on.
on to other news Lens of truth should do a post on this i lol.

Hmmm…. I have to say this game has been getting bad reviews and the H2H seems quite rushed in some ways probably because it’s a mediocre game and LOT didn’t want to spend too much time on it.
I’ve just read the DF H2H which also seemed slightly rushed and again probably for the same reason I mention earlier. But their opinion on the graphics were quite different. According to DF (and it’s new guy David Bierton not Richard Leadbetter- not sure if new guy installs 360 games to HDD like Leadbetter used to):-
360 adavantages-
Higher resolution effects such as water, fog, motion blur, more shadows and smoke effects.
Some instances of higher resolution texture and normal maps
Superior texture filtering.
Better overall frame rate.
Less screen tear.
PS3 advantages-
Superior texture streaming.
Some instances of superior ambient lighting.
Slightly higher resolution (Full 720p).
Wow, and here I thought PS3 would win.
Wow it’s another FPS i wasn’t going to buy anyways..This game is trash it’s sad you even try to defend it.You and everyone else knows this bitch was ported down to Ps3.Theirs no need to be a ass about it.Saving my money for good games like Resistance 3,Twisted metal,Uncharted 3.Games worth owning,just sad when a 3rd part 360 port wins and you go into M$ c*ock sucking mode.MCSMFTW!!
It’s a blurry mess on the 360 automatic fail.
Why you make an advantage to be a disadvantage LoT? Motion Blur which is absent completely on PS3 should give any graphic newbie clue that Xbox360 delivers better (not to mention less screen tear)
Im worried about the quality of your next comparisons’ analysis if this continues.. X(
xbox 360 wins…nothing more to say
U were dropped at birth… Nothing more to say
He wasnt born, he is a result of a scientific experiment gone wrong
I have lost hope in humanity.
Any particular reason?
Not that I have any faith in humanity anyway lol
Funny that now the PS3 game is the one with streaming problems at the cutscenes.
[Batman AA and FF XIII has raped X360 with crappy cutscenes... Now it's different.]
More or less what I would expect from Techland. I’m thinking that Dead Island will probably end up the same way, too.
@Lens of Truth: I would like to request a Head2Head for Catherine, primarily because I personally am very interested in seeing how Atlus’s first HD title turns out. Also, I think it would be interesting to see how well Atlus handled the Gamebryo (the same game engine that powered The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas). I just hope that it’s bug-free.
I would also like to see a Head2Head for the new version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sometimes in the future too.
360 can have this win… But when you really look at it, it’s a “technical” win on a frame-by-frame scale, just like we’ve seen from a lot of game ports as of lately on both platforms. Of course, developers are always going to be forced to develop on the crapbox first, most of the time, because, trying to port a “fully optimized” ps3 game, over to 360 would basically cause the crapbox to have a total meltdown… So I guess ps3 owners will have to take what we can get these days; and as long as the games don’t look like “night-and-day” or “complete-total-shit” ports from 2006 – 2008, then I guess that’s kool.
But you can say a fully optimsed game wouldn’t work well on PS3. In fact a lot of 3rd party 360 ports don’t work well never mind the exclusives.
tie……..better visuals on ps3=better performance on xbox
or maybe not?
If you look at the Digital Foundry comparison, then you can see some missing shadows on the PS3 version. That said, it does look sharper overall, but this is still a 360 win.
It’s just a shame that there isn’t anything better to compare.
They both look equally abysmal.
Developing on PS3 is poop. It’s always a port from xbox to ps3 because ps3 is such a bitch to work with. Only ps3 exclusives are good on ps3, well, except DeadSpace2, I like it on the ps3 and you should play so I can jump on you and claw your fat engineer face off.
POOO!
PS3 looks better? I think I’ve never seen a H2H so tied in my life… The graphics are IDENTICAL!!
