Mine personally would be the original Jak and Daxter. Having started playing on Jak II then 3, you could imagine my horror at the original. it looks absolutely horrible, worse than Crash 3 (a PSone game) in many respects. Naughty Dog sure got on the ball when making Jak II.
What about the rest of you guys?
Final Fantasy VII....haha...yes. I know a whole bunch of you fanbois/gals love it so very much, but I just played it last year on the PC, and I thought that, while the backgrounds were nice, the character models (as well as other objects based on the game engine) were awful, and due to the hardware available at the time gave a terrible representation of a rich and detailed story. Believe you me, I am not usually one to fuss over visuals, but it really was hard to accept.
One must remember that the PS/N64/Saturn era was indeed the pioneering period of 3D software.
I want to mention an opposite here: Deus Ex. There were so many complaints about the Unreal Engine letting the game down, and fundamentally it did as it was not built for games to have a lot of detail, which made the framerate in DX drop quite a bit. However, IMO it looked (and still looks) pretty good.
It's easy to link stuff which is dated, and all the modern games with terrible graphics that I can think of are not popular.
One of the most ugly games that has recently came out in modern times has to be Fallen Earth.
Do you like BROWN! Nomination for the most brown game in the world! And bare in mind this is an advertisement screenshot, this is them making their game look good.
