A few months ago I madea topc aboutTHE Top 5 best looking wii games. I was shocked at how many disagreed with my list as I was unaware graphics could be so opinionated.System Wars has taught me how visuals(just like gameplay) can be differen't people's cup of tea.To some Halo 3 looks outstanding and to others it's a lot to be desired.

So I'm going to try this again. This thread is not to just selfishly put up what I declare are the best looking Wii games, but to ask what do you think on Wii looks impressive. Try to mention other games than Galaxy. Remember it might be simply the art style that grabs you or the technical featthat games achieve.I'm actually interested in what people consider 'art', 'good graphics' (for wii standards) and 'impressive'. Here's my list:

1. Super Mario Galaxy: Incredibly lighting effects, advanced particles, amazing textures and mapping details and an outstanding colour pallete. And you taking notes, 3rd parties?

2. Super Smash Bros Brawl: Abig improvementover Melee, when you look ateverything closely. Backgrounds have had a HUUGE overhaul, increased/better details on character models and blazing, screen-filledaction at 60FPS with not a hint of slowdown. You can'treally ask formuch more (provided the online holds up in frames/detail).

3. Geometry Wars Galaxies: Hypnotic colours, out-of-this-world effectsand screen-filling particle effects all add up to a simple yet very stylish package that looks impressivelyon-par to the 360 counterpart minues the HD.

Honorable mentions: Zack & Wiki, Metroid Prime 3, Pokemon Battle Revolution and Medal of Honour Heroes 2

The first 2 are no contest. But the third one is debatable. I'd have to see Geometry Wars in action to decide.

GW:G isn't impressive. It looks nice but I don't think it deserves the #3 spot. MP3 does.

1. Super Mario Galaxy, best looking game ever :P

2. Super Smash Brothers, the graphics aren't neccessarily impressive, but the fact that it can stay at 60 FPS with all the crap going on is amazing

3. Metroid Prime 3, just because everything else on the Wii isn't very impressive

How original, eh?

Well yes SMG is definetly the best looking game so far and the most impressive too for what it's doing as well. It hints to have some normal maps which is a nice feature. One game nobody mentioned was Dewy's Adventure, as the entire game is ok looking, but it is the first and currently the only Wii game to employ normal mapping.

Based on the released videos and square-enix's ability to push consoles to the limit, I bet final fantasy crystal chronicles: the crystal bearers will be 2nd or 3rd place (I don't think anyone will beat Mario Galaxy until the Wii Zelda comes out in a few years.)

Crystal Bearers looks amazing, from that trailer from a while back. I think I'd have the same top 2 as you, and FFCCCB would be 3.

So I'm assuming you've never seen any games from the early 80's... I'm pretty sure geometry wars has more than 8 colours...

My list:

1- Monster Hunter 3: Probably looks even better than we think 'cause all the videos we've seen are off-screen and very low res.

2- Galaxy

3- SSBB

personally for art style Altho it's been around for a while, I think super papermario deserves a mention, for what it does, it did it perfectly

also prime 3, zack and wikiand king story for art style
(Altho king story isn't my tastes but still)

for pure graphics Monster hunter 3, metroid prime 3, mario galaxies, FF: CC crystal bearers, MOH Heroes2and BWii (with the amount of units p[resent it's a pretty great feat)

Don't count you chickens before they hatch. Monster Hunter 3 could swing either way in visuals.

Geometry Wars has style over polygon count. It has superb lighting, simple yet attractive animation, excellent effects and hypnotising colours and particle effects. Plus, not a hint of slowdown or long load times. And while Metroid Prime 3 looks great, it looks like spiffier and shinierversion of Metroid Prime1 and nothing more.

Thats true. We havent actually seen any gameplay. But considering it was supposed to be on PS3 i'm hoping it will have awesome graphics.
