I got to play NFS Most Wanted, the full game for PC last night. I'm able to make better comparison's with XBOX 360 now. The video on XBOX was much better, it was running actual DVD instead of streaming off the HD. They should have done the same with the PC version, the video can get choppy, and I'm running a very fast SATA 3G/sec HD.
The gameplay is the same, controls are tight, and the movies are all the same.
I got an extra $10,000 for having NFS Underground 2 installed on my computer, but otherwise started out the same. The graphics can get much better on the PC version, but the same issue with the shadows looking really pixellated are the same. I haven't yet turned up the antialiasing to see if that helps with that issue, however. Normally turning up antialiasing causes more issues with transparent textures, you'll often see white outlines around the "holes", like a badly made transparent GIF.
There's a few exclusive challenges, exclusive cars, and an exclusive DVD in the PC version. I haven't even watched the DVD yet. It got really high ratings, and for good reason, it's a damn good game, really fun, and the graphics can scale for 32mb video cards up to 5x better then XBOX.
XBOX wins out of the box though, no installing, no adjusting, tweaking, and no movnig your computer to the living room to watch it on the HD TV, and a much better controller - cordless even. They need to make a wireless Microsoft Controller for PCs, if that were the case then there'd be no contest. They could also give me an HD TV that I could use as a monitor in my computer room -- yeah, that'd work too.
