Best environment/ scenery in a video game

I agree with Assassins Creed - I could never tire of getting to a view point and checking out the landscape.......

Bioshock, GoW (1 & 2) and Oblivion are also awesome - each has their own distinct style...

I also loved Mass Effect.....

ok i knw oblivion has some great environemnt, i hvant played far cry 2, and pure and fable so i cant say anything about them. another game that had some great environment was gta 4aliaslam

I can't believe I forgot about GTA 4!!! That game is gorgeous and has some of the best scenery in a game!

I agree with assassins creed I almost regret selling it back because of that. I like just running around the towns and messing around. GOW 1 and 2 haev my vote also. Mass Effect had its moments as well.

Far Cry 2: African jungle

Bioshock: Rapture the city under the sea

Half-Life 2 and Prey have great enviroments. I kind of wish I hadn't sold Prey.

Dead Space by a landslide

Followed up by Fallout 3,Shadow of the colossus (for its time),MGS4 (specially chapter 4 or whatever, I choked up) and RE1 for the gamecube had a nice setting/environment.

I definitely agree with Assassin's Creed, Farcry 2, Dead Space, Fable II, Oblivion, and both Gears of War games. They all seem to have their jaw dropping atmospheres and enviroments yet these games are able to do it continuously through out the game and in their own unique way. I haven't played Bioshock or Fallout 3 yet so I can't give my opinion on those two..

Oblivion had beautiful environment (I feel like I keep bringing this game up). The landscape combined with weather effects and music is just amazing.

I also liked Mass Effect. The environment did seem static, but it was still great to look at. More recent examples would be Fallout 3 and Fable 2. Albion looks fantastic at sunrise/sunset.

Halo3. Man, those vistas...True_Blu3

[QUOTE="nate_c-12"]Gears 2 hands down. In the Hollow, in the Palace, heck even when your riding the huge trucks.[/QUOTE ]

Gears kinda looks squared too me, to meh. for me gow doesn´t express any feeling the hollows, for example, are dull and empty. I would say, Fallout 3, Oblivion and the shivering isles, Prince of persia, Assassin's creed, far cry 2, eternal sonata indeed has a lot of richness in the enviroment, I like Final fantasy crystal chronicles folklor,
