Turn the contrast up alot, the default is far too low so you lose lots of detail in dark areas. It's one of the very few games i've ever played that i had to manually turn the contrast higher.

Hooray, custom contrast confirmed

This should be a console-specific feature ?

Because this is always been on PC games - just asking for clarification on which platform is the OP speaking.

360 version, but i'm pretty sure the option is on the PC and PS3 aswell.

I almost always have to adjust the video settings so I can see it all. lol

With PS3 I almost always have to turn it way down so the image is not washed out.
