Isn't the grain part of the visuals? I mean you're looking through an electronic visor, look through night vision goggles or any other form of electronic visual aid and you'll see a slight grain like this. As for the blur pic posted in earlier posts that's the motion blur from sprinting right?

I dunno, the game looks fine to me, I think it's how some people have their TV's and xbox configured myself, fiddle with the settings and google "xbox hdmi setup guide". Your TV might be HD like mine, but they're still different at the core. My games look fine,my mates bigger more expensive TV his colours are way too dark, main difference? I took the time to set my TV and xbox up properly.

Some of the problems sound like dodgy HDMI cables which can also cause problems.

If you bother to read other peoples posts you will see why it's not our 360's! You don't get the visor effect in earlier levels and if it is a design design it's fecking awful!

I'm having the same problem. The grain seems like it's getting progressively worse. I can't even see the rain in the rainy levels anymore, just scrolling grain. It's gotten so bad in my game now that I'm just going to stop playing it until a patch is released. Reloading the mission doesn't work for me.. and like the others said, it's the game, not my tv.

Yeah, I was on my second playthrough but have decided to stop until a patch is released. It's hard to resist playing it though. ha ha. In the meantime, I've decided to go through Mass Effect 2 again now that the final DLC is out for it. Sweet.

Was this mentioned in any of the reviews?

Oh thank god, after reading all the user issues,sounds like it is not my xbox that is the problem..Patch please :) Shadow effect in this game is a tad off putting, sorta stutters across the screen..Not pretty at all.

i see it too some times online too .

I have noticed this problem becoming more prominent the further I have progressed into the campaign. At times it is so bad it makes the game look pretty bad. It is almost like a blizzard in some areas.

As a test I loaded a new game up in a new gamertag and there wasn't any visible issues. I only played a bit of the game, though.

In my game as an example:

The problem was not visible after I had been rescued when Hargreaves wanted the suit from me (when the female CIA person comes in and shoots the guards). It stayed away until I progressed to the room with the trophies and guards and then it kicked in. It did exactly the same thing when a friend got to the same bit on their profile.

When I go into nano-vision the screen is sometimes so fuzzy I cannot make much out. The bit where you cut the power and have to escape from the guards was a nightmare to get through.

Other times, the nano-vision was clear but the problem soon returns (in both standard and nano view).

No, it's definitely a problem. One minute I have it on the multiplayer, the next I don't. Single player looks awful now. Just reached times square and it's totally pixellated with moving scan lines across the screen.
