Lately, people here have been talking smack about games like Killzone 2 and Gears of War for using bleak and grey color tones in the artistic style. This has inspired me to come up with this thread concerning games with the brightest, most seizure-inducing use of color ever implemented. What are your picks?

Zelda games? Really?

Nothing can beat this:

Any Mario title

Any Sonic title

NMH

Banjo

JSR

Most Bioware titles

And that's just to name a few. For some reason games with vivid colors catch my eye and tend to be more visually stimulating to me than say a GEOW, MGS, KZ type use of color. It makes the games pop out more for me....especially SMG.

That sewer dungeon like stage? I thought it looked bland. Very detailed though.

Yeah the color thing was just a really stupid argument against Killzone2 (which applies to Gears also so I don't know why lemmings used it) that the grahics sucked because the colors were drab. It's an art style that fits the setting and looks great..... people just need to stfu about it.

Any Katamari Damacy game, Viva Pinata, Eternal Sonata, and Super Mario Galaxy. Though personally, I love games with vivid color palettes. Vibrant colors and bright shades are always a plus for me. With so many dark games these days, something with a little bit of color is always a nice change.

Viewtiful Joe and Katamari get my vote. But I think people are mistaken to immediately assume that "lots of colours = good art style".
