My brother seems to think The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword looks visually better than almost every Xbox 360 game ever made? I couldn't believe it when he told me was being serious? What do you think?

Well, it is using a nice cel-shaded art style. It won't have the polygon counts of a standard 360 game, but it is still a striking game. I think Super Mario Galaxy is one of the best-looking games of this generation.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Well, it has the visual splendor of the most polished artistic game on the 360, but technically it's not. But for the average game player, they just notice the visuals, not the polygon count.

If he thinks it looks better, then it does. If you think it doesn't (as the majority agree here I'm sure), then it doesn't. ;)

Noooo. It doesn't look that great even for a Wii game. I mean it doesn't hurt your eyes, but the graphics are nothing special.

Technically, no. The game does have a good visual style going on, though.

ummmmm.....no? It does have a nice look to it, but it can be easily shot down by games like Fable 2, Gears of war, Kameo, Darksiders, Limbo, Crackdown. All have unique styles from cartoonlike, comic inspired, to big and gritty. If thats his taste well then there you go hat is his taste. While Zelda Skyward Sword looks really nice interms of artistic style it has been done before. Honestly If you were looking for mroe artistic style games i still think Okami, No mroe heroes vietiful Joe and all that have a bette artistic style. Oh and deathspank too, the cutscenes look like paper.

From what I've seen, nope. Among cell-shaded games, Prince of Persia reigns supreme.

It seems to your brothers coming off a bit fanboyish here, so i dont think he can make an unbiased decision on it, if he said almost every Wii game then i could see where he was coming from, my cousins a halo fanboy and i get in arguements with him all the time :lol:, Still looks great though.

Maybe he likes just the way it looks? Most gamers don't look at whether a game is in 1080p, or if it has motion blur etc... They just look at what is in front of them, and if the visuals are pleasing or not. Personally I disagree. SS graphics seem unfinished (which they are). I would wait before saying anything like that.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm is the best looking cell shading game.

Visually no but art style it depends on him for example Kirby epic yarn got the best art style this generation nothing on HD twins or PC can touch it.

In all fairness to Zelda. It is an open world sand box game, which we all know struggle to look pretty. Gta infamous red dead redemption assssins creed. So with that being said it looks great. Now imagine Zelda with red dead redemption graphics with nintendo art $tyle.

In other words, "NO". Let your poor bother play some 360 games so he can be educated.

I saw this other vid of a guy playing SS on the show floor and the graphics really "popped" at me. The new visual art style kinda makes Zelda SS look "HD." It looks amazing.

I like the look of Skyward Sword over any of those last-gen images, and would state that it actually looks better than a few (why that Splinter Cell screen is in there is beyond me, the game looks better than that.

Well, he said 'visually' and not'graphically', so it comes down to taste, really. I find Metroid Prime Trilogy more visually attractive than Crysis. The graphics are far, far inferior, but the art style is some of the best, if not THE best seen in video games.

mitu123

Yes it does :P. Kameo is ugly as hell. And btw no it doesnt look as good as 360, as it cannot possibly look that good. But it is very well done and IMO looks better then SOME of the lower end 360 games in a tech way. BTW Fable II is uglier than Twilight Princess IMO, but obviously it has some smoother objects and such. But the animations, framerate, effects and some other stuff lack so much it looks awful.

It's a visual treat in a composed sense of feeling and style, but if we are talking high polys then no.
