I thought Zelda looked fantastic on GC, it was my 1st Zelda game and i loved it. Even Mario sunshine looked great. Picmin too looked great, yes by now you can probably tell i bought the GC for my kids lol.

RE4 (as much as I detest it) is a great example. It's more easily apparent with multiplats, usually the textures on a PS2 would appear more washed out or drab, or there would be more jaggies. You can't really argue exclusives against exclusives though.

HAHAHA on paper?

do you remember what Sony put on paper? 66 mil polygons

Nintendo claimed 10-12 million

and there is no arguing that the GC was more Powerful then the ps2.

Windwaker (still the BEST cel-shaded game ever, smooth graphics, amazing colors, no jaggies...sexy as hell) MP2 (just as beautiful as MP1 but ALOT more polished and the effects were amazing for last gen) RE4 (textures on the cube version were better, even capcom confirmed this i think) SMS (k, not the best mario game ever...but a great game at that, the water was fantastic and the lighting from the sun really gave the game that tropical feel and it just fit the game and really made mario sunshine.....mario SUNSHINE)

Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Resident Evil 4, REmake, F-Zero GX, Wind Waker, etc.

I didn't list Twilight Princess, because I think that it's ugly as hell.

Edit: Super Smash Bros. Melee also looked INCREDIBLE when it first came out. It has, like, no jaggies, and pulls off many great effects at once, with no slow down whatsoever.

You may not have noticed a difference, but people who played both know the PS2 version sucked in comparison, and nothing on the PS2 ever came close to the remake of Resident Evil 1.

Why does everyone choose MP2, I own it and was expecting it to look amazing considering how much people claim it does, then I played it and it's just meh...

GC does have better looking games though, Rouge Squadron, RE4 and REmake, TP is good looking too, Sunshine's quite good, there are quite a few others as well.

I've been reading some of the older reviews of the GC. The most you will find is the reviewers will say the GC version looks slightly better. PS2 wasn't dramatically behind in graphics.

You know what was really good graphics on the GC is James Bond 'Everything Or Nothing'. I HIGHLY recommend this

 this game looked good to me. The gamecube had some good launch titles that actually made the system shine, compared to the ps2. imagin what developers could of really achieved if that was the dedicated console.


then you had resident evil remake, that did tricks i dont think the ps2 could do. can the ps2 do dynamic lighting? cause it couldn't do it in resident evil 4.

I don't know how good it really looks(never played it), but it looks damn good in picture form. And usually games look better in motion.

I've played God of War though. I can't seem to find any pictures that look even half decent of it, so I'll wait for someone else to post some.

Actually I think the reason why the gamecube often underperformed with multiplatform titles was mostly due to the size of the disk that meant if the game wasn't originally being designed on that console, files would have to be compressed more so than with the other consoles that offered greater storage capacity. The reason why the console exculsives looked better than the PS2 titles was probably, because the designers made better use of the GameCubes superior performance.

I'd say Metroid Prime kinda proved that. And, if you consider the drastic reworking that was needed to get RE4 on the PS2, then I guess RE4.

This game also went to the PS2 and most ppl dont a diffrence in graphic quality and i agree cause i tried both.

My suggestion is to get to the doctor right away and get those cataracts removed before they get worse.

Last gen I bought both versions because I really wanted the Separate Ways mission for the PS2 version, and if you can't see the HUGE difference in the first level on the ground shading between the both you may have TV or eye issues.

The Gamecube version was lightyears ahead.

You gotta love it when someone asks for an example, gets a clear answer that can't be argued then just blows it off with some rationalization that has nothing to do with the original question.

Why did you ask the question if you didn't want an answer?

I don't think storage space has anything to do with graphics unless it's a 2D game.

I dare you to look at the two versions of RE4 side by side, and then compare Metroid Prime to similar games on PS2 at the time. Bring the tissues; you might start crying.

Sony put out 75 Million poly's with NO effects, with all effects on it was around 15 million, the GCN's poly/s was around 20 million with all effects ON.

Ugh. I thought the PS2 graphics of this title were borderline disgusting in comparison. I'm not usually one who puts much stock in graphics, but I thought the difference was instantly noticable (particularly in the trees).

You must be blind because their is a major graphics difference betwen the 2 versions. The most easy to notice is the toned down particles and dynamic lighting.

Resident Evil 4 and the PoP games looked a lot nicer on Gamecube than they did on PS2 (not to mention they ran a lot more smoothly). Also, I don't think there's a PS2 game that looks as nice as Paper Mario 2 (not even Odin Sphere).
