You're mising the point.
The game does look better on Xbox 360. As does virtually every multi-platform game. Heck, just this week we've seen PES2008, Virtua Fighter 5 and Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 as examples -- they are added to a long list of examples.
The point isnt "oh, its only a little" apologies, it is consistent. Every Xbox 360 game has been better (either graphics and/or online, and or DLC and/or earlier release dates, and on and on).

Want a good example of terrible lighting?

use a critical eye to note;
The shadows are all one color.
The only thing casting shadows is the characters.
The shadows look "flat" ie; light is not reflecting, but coming from a single source.

This game is Pac-Man & tetris quality classic already. I doesnt need new graphics, they've struck the right balance of update refresh (more items, and levels and a multiplayer) and sticking to what is good.
one of my favorites.
The Sony Fans are abusing the Report system to stiffle pro-Xbox 360 posts.
This has been rampant for weeks now.
For PS3 & BR fans, the Xmass sales results published in january are going to cause them to commit suicide.
They have *no* idea what a $198 HD-DVD player means to the marketplace. How many households are going to buy a new disc player for their new plasma/LCD TV? How many Dads are going get a $198 player for his Entertainment Center from wifey/kids?
Mark my words -- right it down and PM me in 2008 -- the Xbox 360 and HD-DVD are going to dominate this holiday...
Oh, dont bother bringing that up. Sony is *well* known for trying to sell proprietary formats, and they mostly fail at it.
Heck, they tried to force a MP3-alternative ATRAC and totally missed any DAP opportunities, MicroMV, DAT, UMD, Betamax, Memory Stick -- all Sony attempts at lockin in its customers to a proprietary and closed format for the benefit of the Sony RIAA and Sony MPAA divisions.
It is a part of their culture. I've known to keep-the-heck away from...
NEC, Sharp and Toshiba are responsible for HD-DVD.
Generally, I buy my electronics at smaller, high-end shops (specifically audio products), but I expect to continue to buy more electronics on the internet.
BUT(!) -- Im very very willing to bet that 90% of Western World's Electronics are sold in Outlets like Walmart, KMart or whatever supermarket chains are big.
K-Mart is a massive seller, and them dropping BR is kind-of a big deal. Dont try and dismiss it because you dont shop there, most people in-fact do.
"Except more PS3's are sold on a weekly basis than both blu ray and hd-dvd players combined. "
yes, and more PSPs are sold every week than Stand-Alone UMD players. But, that didnt help UMD did it? Where is the UMD media? Dead as a doornail.
The PSP couldnt support UMD, and the PS3 cant support BR. Far more people have Movie players than game machines, and if HD-DVD players are $199 today, they'll be $99 this time next year.

Why? So they can loose money?
@Meus 9.1
"Games like MGS, Uncharted, KillZone 2 and Gran Turismo"
Are *ALL* hype. Have you played these games yet?
"So what do you mean by "hype"?'
Killzone 1 was mediocre at best. GT has serious competition and its own problems to overcome (gameplay physics). MGS4 will probably be the best game the PS3 has every played, but its just one game.
You post amounts to "wait until _these_ games ship", a...
@meus.
You are the most delusional PS3 fan on this site. Unlike the others who froth at the mouth, you can at least string a sentence together. This talent has enabled to string along the SDF Useful Idiot minions.
But some of us are paying attention, and not so easily fooled.
These things come to mind from your post:
"360 and also PS3. The latter requires individual attention."
Yes, additional expense to achieve eq...
I just played the demo on Xbox LIVE arcade, and this game does indeed rock. like. crazy.
Go check out the demo if you have a Xbox 360. Its great.
"Whereas with the PS3 and the 360, it's certainly more of a level playing field"
How did you come to this " the ps3 is slightly stronger than the 360" conclusion?
It doesnt say that at all. It sounds far more like what IGN said in their hardware shoot-out:
"When you break down the numbers, Xbox 360 has provably more performance than PS3."
@chrno
Actually, its funny you'd mention that. This "trader" fool above is clearly an idiot. BUT, you do know that Japan is incredibly xenophobic.
It wasnt until Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853 forced Japan to open trade. They are INCREDIBLY jingoistic (more than the West), if you go there (i've been), and travel outside of the major cities, you'll find the people will shun you for being foriegn. I've never encountered such racism before.
