The game needs to be optimized for PhysX as well. For instance, Batman Arkhan Asylum's PC launch was delayed to 15th September to get PhysX added to it.
Basically, what you see in each game is pre-programmed. It's all scripted and results in the same behavior. For instance, a shot to the head from close range will make the enemy always fall in the same way or in the same direction. This kinda makes the game environment monotonous.
PhysX is to add realism to the game that's optimized for it. Your actions will result in change to the environment. For instance, during a storm in the game, you might notice ambient effects but in essence, everything else is static and scripted. Think of PhysX as mimicking the actual storm. Trees will fall, glass windows will break and certain effects will be there in the game that emulate the real storm.
