In a preview of the upcoming PC version of Gears of War, Epic's VP Mark Rein makes a graphical comparison between the game and Crytek's upcoming Crysis, one of the most anticipated PC games this year. Rein states that while the games are of two different styles, he believes Gears will look better than Crysis on PCs consumers actually own.
GFW: We'll see, because everyone's tardy with their stuff. Of course, Crysis is coming out. We'll see if that makes it out... Not necessarily declaring one or the other better-looking right off the bat, but...
MR: If that's the quote you want, is Crysis better-looking than Gears of War? I don't think so. It's different. It looks great in its own way, but does it top the graphics bar for Gears of War? No.
...
GFW: Considering right now I don't even have Vista... [Laughs]
MR: That's my challenge: Let's see when it ships how great it looks on the PC you own. That's the thing, do I think Gears of War will look better than Crysis on the PCs people actually own? Yes. But that's OK. Neither of them's gonna look bad. I'm not saying Crysis is a slouch by any stretch of the imagination; it's gonna look great, but it's a different look. We're a more stylized game. We take some liberties with realism that they can't take with their forests and trees and stuff that they're doing. It's just a different game.

Who cares about this? Both games look great but from a technical standpoint Crysis still takes the cake without any trouble from Gears. Gears looks great all stylized but the lighting capable in CryEngine 2 is second to none. Period.
