What are the most under appreciated games graphics wise?

The only thing that was impressive about DMC4 is how it ran on my computer.

That was brilliant.
*edit*
Tomb Raider Underworld.

Demon's Souls, it's no graphics king but it's always critizised for its graphics which are actually quiete decent.

Uncharted 1. It's really just Uncharted 2+screen tearing. Some parts even look better IMO

Resident Evil 5.

Ratchet and clank A crack in time... and ESPECIALLY wipeout HD FURY...looks better than 2011 games....campzor

dirt 3 and portal 2

MGS4...no im being serious.

FF13 IMO

GRAW
Dirt series
Resistance 2
Bad Company 2
GTA IV
Enslaved
Far Cry 2

Deinitely Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Portal 2 for me. Seeing some of the animation in Portal 2 was like :O Then Lords of Shadow just had some incredible atmosphere and sharp images.

ALL RACING GAMES!!!!! Seriously, whenever we talk graphics for some reason racers are never mentioned and they are usually tech marvels.

Kameo- Saw the demo at target and the next day drove almost 400 mmoles to get an 360 (arcade version)

Blazeblue- I still love great 2D

Motorstorm Apocolypse (I think it is more action than racer)

Mortal Kombat 2011- The art and backgrounds are pure awesome sauce.

Halo Reach- Again- They just updated the look of the series without making it look like a different game.

Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead Redemption deserve a mention.

But the 2 games that should be in every conversation when it somes to graphics are Mirrir's Edga and Wipeout HD/Fury. Games are lookers!

Just Cause 2 is highly under appreciated for its graphics, especially on the PC.

Far Cry 2 or Compnay of Heroes (has any RTS caught up to it?)

I thought Too Human had a very nice look, but I can see why people would disagree.

Resident Evil 5 and/or Enslaved.

Also, like someone else mentioned, Reach. A few parts of it look absolutely average but dose skyboxes and character models? Mmmmm....

medal of honor looked great in some partsdvalo9

And god-awful everywhere else.

Red Dead Redemption.

Tomb Raider Underworld:

Empire Total War: The amount of soldiers plus all the gunfire makes even shogun 2 easier to run

Mass Effect 2 has incredible film-like quality to the camera angles and lighting direction

Just Cause 2 (PC)

Mirror's Edge (PC)

Hard Reset

dirt 3 and portal 2

I definitely agree with this. Such a beautiful environment.

Resident Evil 5.

Ratchet and clank A crack in time... campzor

I second this. Great looking game, which is even more impressive because it runs at 60fps.

I'll throw in Resistance 3 as well, the art is fantastic and the quincunx AA and film grain go extremely well with the art style. Reminds me a lot of Killzone 2.

Medal of Honor SP looked very good especialy in the day time.

Mirror's Edge, people always whining about the baked lighting... While Crysis gets praise for being all real time, and managing ugly in a ton of areas.Inconsistancy

More games should use pre-baked lighting. It won't look as good as dynamic in all games, but pre-baked is much higher quality.

And considering developers on the consoles are scrambling for extra power it makes even more sense. :P

Yeah, that's why so few games use pre-baked anymore because of the types of environments in games today.

perfect dark zero for its time had superb textures and gun models. too bad the characters looked straight xbox 1 level except for Joanna. DOA4 also should get a mention the game looks like high quality CGI.

I agree. It did look pretty good. Some areas were choppy and pop in was a problem but when the game looked good, it looked really good.

I also have to bring up Heavenly Sword. I still think that game holds up today.
