first game that "wowed" you on the 360 (graphicwise)

topic says it all...I guess

Red Dead impressed me on a technical level by having the amount of AI functions going on at the same time, but nothing on the system has impressed me graphics wise. The hardware just doesn't let it happen.

Prey i guess. One of the first 360 games i played and the graphics were pretty amazing. Then along came Halo 3 and Gears 2.

Gears of War. I was floored when I saw it in HD for the first time.

Battlefield 2 Modern Combat. That game looked absolutely jaw dropping to me back then.

bioshock and fallout 3.

First it was G.R.A.W

Then it was DMC4. That was all.

Will have to be Mass Effect. AweSome!

Oblivion was the first for sure. Bioshock is another one that stands out in my mind as wowing me for it's looks.

Burnout Paradise and it still looks pretty to me. If you're looking for a Xbox 360 exclusive then i'd have to say none of them really blew me away. Halo Reach came really close but it has horrific frame rates.

Dead Rising blew my mind back in the day, I remember thinking it looked almost photo realistic lol.

GTA IV. Driving across one of the bridges for the first time and seeing the city on the horizon, it looked stunning. Hasn't aged too well but at the time it looked incredible.

Eternal Sonata, lol, its one of the prettiest games ever!

forza 2

Bioshock.

First that I saw would easilly be Gears of War. The first that I actually played would be GRAW.

GRAW. When I saw it I knew it was time to get a 360. Bought it on the first day of E3 that year. Damn, I loved when E3 was in May.

I'd say I've been wowed about 4 times.

First, Oblivion, stepping out of the sewer and seeing just how large and detailed the world was. Then, Gears of War, just so smooth and well done. Third, Resident Evil 5, personally think the best on 360, the resolution and crispness of eveything and the fantastic outdoor lighting did it for me.

And finally, Mass Effect 2, on board the SR-1 Normandy looking for joker and seeing the planet right above the ship.

EDIT: And how could I forget, the Bioshock intro. Never been stuck with such a sense of wonder.

FF13 wasnt the best game I played, but I gotta admit, it looked dam good lol

bioshock. when the game started and u where in water i did not know the game and started and when i realized that was in game graphics was was shocked.

probably one of the first xbox360 games I ever saw. Project Gotham Racing3 at CompUSA on display. The difference between pgr2 and 3 is HUGE. Just as big of a jump in graphics as Gran Turismo 2 (ps1) to GT3( Ps2).

Gears of War.

Modern Warfare 2, I had just gotten an HDTV around the time that game came out.

Gears of War

Fallout 3....though it was the first thing I played other than the Forza 3 demo lol

Probably halo 3 ...the reason i got my xbox in the first place
