Graphics Battle: Metroid Prime 2 versus any other good looking 6th gen game

What do you think?
Does it go high enough,graphically?
*changed the title,better?

Uh well, while I would agree that it is a good looking game, I would say it's about on par with the first Prime and by that I mean it looks great, but not incredible.

^^^ well, what tops it then?

I could just be a dick and say: The Last of Us.

There, done, we can close the thread now.

Really tho, the Metroid Prime games are beautiful, but it'd be silly to say that nothing better looking has come out since then.

Learn to read thread titles.

Just my opinion but looks good to me. Depends on if you like it.

I just made the same mistake as Mort. Thread title should say, "Graphics Battle: Metroid Prime 2 versus any other good looking 6th gen game". There, now more coherent.

Isn't it kind of debatable depending on ones taste in art? I'm not saying it is, but I could think someone might argue Resident Evil 4. The problem is what you define as peak in quality. While the environments are pulled back a bit and enclosed to a mansion, Luigi's Mansion is very well animated and smooth. And then you have the Star Wars Rogue Squadron II game that supposedly reused the SW movie re-releases from the later 90s movie models and other stuff to look drop dead gorgeous.

Definitely I'd consider in my book Zelda Wind Waker over it any day. Sure it may not have all the crazy teeny details and atmospheric effects Metroid has, but that game doesn't also show its age in the visuals like Metroid will slowly do. There's something in that fully crafted and beautiful cartoon environment that kind of makes it a real stand out of living animation much like how Dragon's Lair was this big oh shit moment in the early 1980s in the arcades.

The thing is with Metroid it plays off atmosphere and awe of it, some small details in eye catching areas and that also includes some of the crazy bosses (just like MP1.) But to do what that game did there's plenty of bland spots and corner cutting if you look for it that really stands out if you're not just sucked up into the ride.
