the concept art looks great, the game however looks boxy, jagged from the low poly count models that work against the intended art style and imo make it look bad. game isn't even out yet and it already looks dated.

The big problem which developers never got a grip on is anti aliasing.Its really beyond me why that was such a problem on Wii,

I could swear more games on GC had AA than on Wii. I know its costly, but so what ?

Looking at Good of War and Prince of Persia, I find the artistic texture style and look of such game to stand the test of time better than pure realism, low poly or not.

I don't think the Wii supported AA, which also would mean the GC didn't, given procedural similarity

The Wii has AA and pixes / vertex shaders. They are pretty basic compared to other GPU's, but it does have them. The Conduit uses both. The jagginess on Wii seems to be more about resolution than the lack of AA, since it tends to look much better on non-LCD TV's.
