I left unimpressed. It plays just like the PC version, which is not a bad thing. Visually it is less impressive than the PC demo (which was limited to medium effects). I thought these consoles were supposed to be ahead of PC games for at least a year. Maybe that old rule is gone. I got to play CoD2 on the 360 in a Gamestop Kiosk earlier last week.

I agree with your comments about this game in particular and with the bit about the controller. It's sleek and fits like a glove. The gameplay on CoD2 was intense and left me wanting more. I'm looking forward to buying the system, and most especially, playing CoD2 on it! I have to say, after playing Call of Duty 2, on Xbox 360, it’s a definite purchase for us soon after launch.

HDTV's run at 720p resolution, and a lot were reportedly setp up wrong and were running at 480. Infact, even some of the Microsoft reps apparently set them up wrong. ...or of course the first round of games isn't taking advantage of the hardware, as is always the case with new consoles.

Yes, it does look very good for consoles, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's got the most powerful graphics on the planet. Heck, HL2: Lost Coast demo on my PC looks much, much better.
