Is there any review talking about how the game looks and performs on consoles?

Same, mostly. Love it.
Can't believe the great scores, I thought the issues it had during development would've had more of a negative impact, but I didn't follow it that closely so maybe they were overblown/I over exaggerated them in my head.
It is true, the perfect score reviews are to be taken with a grain of salt, Uncharted 3, for example, had a lot of praise, I found myself agreeing the most with the Eurogamer 8.5 review though.

You should probably have a read of this: http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/03/25/n...e-graphics-settings-loot-glint-and-1999-mode/
Sounds like 1999 isn't very fun.
Still, not a bad review in sight so looks like the game is good!
I want to watch it but too spoiler-ish?

I'm still on a blackout. I listening to, rather than watching the reviews.
Allright, so that IGN review wasn't first-review bullshit and this game is all I hoped it would be if the scores are to be believed. Time to order and preload this puppy!
Also; this has been one of the only games were I've been able to completely blackout on most of the pre-release stuff. I've seen the first trailer/gameplay, spotted some screens and know about the themes and stuff, but I know almost nothing about the experience itself this time. Tommorow is gonna be a great day!

I don't think so. He just hypes it to astronomical levels.

Xbox360 Achievements - 100/100 (Infinitely amazing)
WOW only 2 games out of 500+ games reviewed from this site got 100 till now, this game must be really something else.

Im not doubting any of the reviews for one moment, this is the most wanted game this year, i do however wonder how much the levine effect has on some of these scores. I watched pretty much every single interview he did in the last week or so and some of the interviewers were almost in awe of talking to the man. Will that have an effect on them?. Again dont take this as a slight i cant fucking wait for this game im counting down the hours here and i think it will live up to the hype just those interviews last week it struck me the almost star struck nature in which they were given.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I loved the review, it was fantastic. However, I didn't know much about the games soundtrack and it spoiled one musical moment that I probably would have really enjoyed playing which I will put in the spoilers below.

Well according to their site just Infinite. Skyrim is second with 99.

I generally agree with this statement. It's still impressive to see so much praise for a game as the generation is ending, everyone is blasé, and the latest 'AAA' experiences have been more divisive amongst the press.
I'm not even much of a Bioshock or FPS player but these reviews get my interest piqued.

I seriously did not expect this at all. But great to hear it's such a good game.
I'd like to know this as well, my PC isn't running the game.

After playing the 360 version for about two hours I can say that the game looks really ugly. The IQ is a blurry mess (aggressive FXAA?), the lighting is nothing special and the textures are PS2 quality...and yes I'm not exaggerating it's that bad, in fact Infinite on the 360 has to be the ugliest high profile game I've seen this gen.
Frame rate is decent with some drops here and there but definitely not a problem.
In other words just wait for the inevitable DF face-off to see how the PS3 version is or just get the PC version...just stay away from the 360 version.
Here's another review, and another 10/10. This game looks awesome!

Oh my fucking god.
l was excited about the 100/100 until I saw those ridiculously high scores for mostly average games.
No saving is actually the biggest bummer. How can you release a game without saving :/

From the amount I've played, those scores are pretty fair. Wouldn't give it a perfect score myself, but it isn't far off.
