I've played some great games lately, but sometimes get tired of bland or colourless environments..

What 360 games would you say boasts some of the most colourful visually stunning environments?

Just wondering

Mass Effect, Brutal Legend, Darksiders, Enslaved and Red Dead Redemption all rate pretty high on gorgeous environments as far as I'm concerned.

yeh, some of the levels from the 'Mass Effect' franchise have some wonderfully colourful and stunning environments, both great games.. Personally I could'nt get into the demo of 'Brutal legend'.. 'Darksiders' is actually the next game on my list.. Enjoyed the demo for 'Enslaved' plus the envoronments within R.D Redemption look great too.

If there is one good thing I can say about Final Fantasy XIII, it is that it has really beautiful environments.

Crysis 2 has the best graphics. It terms of colors + graphics...Oblivion maybe.

Mass Effect was beautiful and I've heard great things about the environment in the new gen FF games (and thats it :D). Call me bias but I have always thought the halo series had some wonderful surroundings that were often overlooked.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow had some pretty amazing backgrounds/scenery.

The game itself was trash IMO

As someone else said Red Dead had an incredible world. I often stop and just look around at the mountains and the sun setting, it's really well done.

Prince of Persia ( 2008 ) had some very eye pleasing visuals, it might not be going after the real life effect (not sure if you are looking for any environments in general, or if you wanted more artsy ones ect) but certainly helps keep the game interesting. Another game I am playing through right now that has varied and beautiful environments is Lost Planet 2!

Mass Effect 2 left me speechless. There's a certain part where you turn a corner and walk out into an endlessly massive room. Can't say where as it's a spoiler. Can't think of any other games right now. :)

Based on your criteria I'd say Enslaved hands down. Yes there are a lot of visually stunning games but Enslaved does the bright lush landscapes better than any other so far.
