    Would be difficult to do better than that list. Resident Evil Remake isn't even progressive scan yet when it was rereleased unchanged on the Wii, it still looked better than 99% of the library.

    Tales of Symphonia and Soul Calibur II are also very strong candidate purely based on an ascetically pleasing viewpoint.

    Default Difficult to add titles

    I agree that the list already contains visually strong titles, so not sure what to add here. I was very impressed with Starfox Adventures when it came out and I still think it looks good today.

    Not sure if I could hammer out a top 10, but I'd definitely include at least one of the Baten Kaitos games and one of the Pikmin games. Those are really lovely games.

    Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes looked good. At least I thought it did.

    I cannot disagree with anything mentioned so far. I would also toss Viewtiful Joe's hat into the ring.

    Baten Kaitos was an absolutely gorgeous looking game. Pre-rendered stuff on the GC always looked amazing, especially when they overlayed animated effects and other little touches.

    I also want to add Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. Whie I thought it was a horrible game I remember being very impressed by some of the graphical effects.

    But yeah, Its hard to argue with anything else thats been mentioned so far.
    If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?

    Baten Kaitos did indeed have great pre-rendered graphics, but the character models left a bit to be desired. I'd put Baten Kaitos Origins over Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean in that sense.

    Skies of Arcadia: Legends.

    It was a Dreamcast port, but OverWorks did happen to buff the game visually for the Gamecube release.

    Killer7 is probably the coolest looking thing on the console, though not an exclusive. Same with Viewtiful Joe.
    In Heaven, everything is fine.

    I seem to remember Beyond Good & Evil having some eye-pleasing visuals, but they could've been due to cool art direction rather than GFX power. Paper Mario Thousand Year Door is a gorgeous game on the GameCube, with great artwork/style throughout and it loses the jagged-ness of the N64 version

    I can't think of a single Gamecube game which impressed me graphically.

    Ikaruga is visually striking. I'm not sure if it has "awesome graphics," but it looks cool.

    P.N.O3 looked pretty good for its time and is worth mentioning, even if I didn't care for the game much. We are seeing a trend here with Capcom knowing how to flex the Gamecube's muscles.
