it´s probably not easier to program than on any other platform. It´s up to the developer. The graphics API which is used is some special version OpenGL.

The water really stuck out in the NiGHTS trailer. Also, I was playing Super Mario Sunshine yesterday, and I was really impressed by the water. It's kind of weird that you mention water the very next day. Yeah, I know it's a 2002 game, but it looks awesome!

It's the same with Gamecube games, Super Mario Sunshine and Wave Race Blue Storm (For a launch game) had amazing water effects for their time.

What did you expect, it's called "Wii"![/lame jk] Anyways, I agree very much on this. Maybe, the Wii's GPU is watered up then! :Þ

Everything from Mario Galaxy to Godzilla have great looking water.

Games where the characters aren't much more developed then hangman stick figures have wonderful looking water.

Is this one of those "just me" kind of things or do you guy/gals see it too?

I was just thinking yesterday, "The water in TP is amazing"

It just makes you want to swim.

And Endless Ocean has good water... i mean, the game is about water!

There are only 2 games in my life that made me say dang I wish I could swim in that water and I have played a lot of games. Farcry on the PC and just cause.
