Final Fantasy XIII-2... better on 360?

[SlaughterX]

Just checked out the review scores on Metacritic, and the 360 version is rated 3 points higher for some reason (with the same amount of reviews). I was just wondering if there was any news on a definitive version (and why)... I actually preordered the PS3 CE for a change, but I am wondering if I made a mistake here.

It runs better on 360 than the last one, but the PS3 has a better frame rate from what I understand (very minor, 2 fps in some areas). It does load your old save file and add bonuses however, so that is probably the version you should pick.

Variation between platform specific outlets.

Totally lied, really it comes down to different sites not reviewing for both platforms. Like Edge giving it a 5, but that hasn't popped up on the 360 side

Edge giving it a 5

So about a 7.5 in normal review scale..

Damn, I wasn't aware of that or I probably would have got the 360 version. What are the bonuses? Also does the PS3 version have 1080p cutscenes and uncompressed audio again?

Yes, it does....

Not necessarily. Edge in general reviews games using different logic. A 5/10 score in Edge could range like something from 5-9 in metacritic for the same game. It is uncorrelated.
The other media are like the typical joe who likes Michael Bay movies with "guns, action, and flashy effects", while Edge is like the strict art critique of the game dev world who will see the "composition and depth" and praise the brilliance of "boring movies" such as Citizen Kane or Memento or even Mulholland Drive.

Being the review nerd that I am, I checked Edge's average review score on GameRankings compared to the average overall.

Overall average was 70% even.

Edge was 68%.

So was Eurogamer.

Except the Halo love of course.

But yes... they can be fairly high-brow/pretentious.

At least this is over a one point difference like the glory days.

Not sure, it just told me it found my save file and added some content, I think it was relatively minor. By all accounts, the PS3 version is better, even though the 360 version has improved, so I would just keep your preorder. Unless you enjoy Xbox Live’s Rich Presence(tm) as much as I do.

I know you put it in quotes, but there's nothing boring about those films.

Well my PS3 CE has already shipped and I plan on keeping it regardless, I just might go ahead and order the regular version for the 360, Amazon is offering a $20 credit right now, so after I beat it I can probably sell it for around $40 to recoup my losses.

Well...thats why I put them in ......quotes
But you get my point
Not everyone is going to recognize the brilliance of these movies would they?
