    I tried finding out which was the best console version, but, couldn't really find anything. I know it's 2 discs on the 360 and there is a HD install. It's 1 disc on ps3 but I heard there is a 12Gb install.

    The game just came out today. If the reviews haven't dropped yet just give it some time.

    They are all pretty close, but I'd say the 360 one has the slightest of edge.

    Pc if you can. If not then I would have to guess that the other versions are nearly identical. 12gb is a lot of install space but it's probably the same if you installed both Xbox discs.

    Haha, I see what you did there!

    I was leaning towards the 360, I think with everything installed it would still be less than 12gb. It all being on one disc would be nice though.

    That's probably the right answer. I'd imagine it looks a bit nicer and may play better. I know people are used to there only being a 360/PS3, but for a handful of games the Wii U should be considered in the running.

    edit: Nope. Turns out the Wii U version doesn't look so good and has terrible load times.

    The 360 version seems like the one to get because the PS3 version can't even manage a close-to HD resolution. The 360 version has really bad screen tearing, but at least the load times aren't bananas.

    Digital Foundry basically confirmed the Wii U version has a higher resolution and looks better in spots, but, yes, has atrocious load-times. I'm not sure why you think it doesn't look as good.

    Not exactly a stunning victory for the Wii U, or anything, but hey. A tiny bit better in the looks department is still at least better.

    They also pointed out that the Wii U version doesn't come with any option for high-res textures. AFAICT that's mainly lazy on the part of devs, since as long as you're not filling memory it wouldn't even be a performance hit. It would affect load times though; again a poor choice by the devs since they could have offered an install option for those with external HD's, which should help (I don't have any real data for that point though).
