Definently not.. which just shows how not Halo 2 HD Halo3 actually is.

(As SMG is better looking then Halo 2, but not close to Halo 3.)

Not from a technical standpoint by any means, but artistically, that is up to individual's preference.

It's comparable, just like how I can compare a rock to a shoe. Doesn't really make sense.

I agree. A better comparison would be:

halo 3 vs. MP3

SMG vs. Kameo

of course you can compare SMG graphics to Halo 3, it'll go something like this:

SMG looks like a steaming pile of Poo when compared with halo 3, graphically.

See?

So my answer would be yes.

Just so we are clear, Halo 3 does run at 30FPS and Galaxy runs at 60FPS right?

and that's 30 frames per second for Halo 3

and 60 interlace fields per second for Galaxy as Wii is a standard definition console.

60 frames per second is reserved for 1080p content.

Hahaha whata joke. Oh man, fanboys are really bad. There's no way those two should ever be compared by a technical standpoint, but I must say galaxy does look quite good(but by no means Halo 3 good, that's just ludicrous).

Wow some people are idiots.

Like a few have said, halo 3 is 30fps and runs at 640p. There was a big controversy about it a few weeks ago if you don't recall. (stupid, but there was)

Galaxy runs at 60 in 480p. The p means progressive scan, and while wii is considered a standard definition console it can do progressive scan. It isn't at all limited to interlaced.

60fps reserved for 1080p? What are you talking about?

It's too difficult to compare because the artstyles vary so much. Personally, I think SMG looks better.

No matter what frame rate Galaxy and Halo are at, Galaxy's graphics don't even compare to Halo. Halo 3 in game graphics is on a whole new level called next generation.

Well if you're playing it off of a standard definition, the point that it can do 60 frames is sort of moot if the TV can only do 30 frames. :lol:

corrected, Mario Glaxay is widescreen you know and runs at 60FPS

1024x768 Plasmas are also widescreen, although 1024x768 resolution is really fullscreen.

Wii Games are neither 852x480 or 640x480, they are 720x480.

Unfortunately, Halo 3's graphics are better. It's weird though seeing that Halo 3's graphics were total crap for the hype it was receiving.

It's really not much of a debate since it's like comparing Star Wars and Monsters Inc as far as design.

But it's how you design with what you're given and not what you're given to design with......

On a side note....does anyone with HD notice that movies that are animated look better than all the rest? The best looking movie I've seen in HD is Cars.........it's loooks 50x better than the standard dvd version.

Maybe if Super Mario Galaxy was running on the 360's Hardware we'd have something to discuss. But for now they both look great, But Halo is the better graphical game.

....You're joking, right? SD tvs can do 24, 30 or 60. And I think possibly other standardized refresh rates.
