Burnout Paradise is a great choice.

Crysis, Metal Gear Solid IV, GTA IV, Bioshock, Burnout Paradise, Gears of War 2, Uncharted, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, and Mario Galaxy
| Leynos said: Realism is dull to me overall so I look more at a style perspective. Some of the best looking games that had a realistic look to me aged as well as milk left out on a hot summer day. So they impressed me with their style and still hold up today. Realism to me is about the most overused and dull aesthetic in gaming. So I mainly listed games I thought had a lot of style. |
You take a look at the graphics pipeline and the effects in play... Those are "Graphics" and can't be misconstrued thanks to subjectivity. - What you propose is taking a subjective approach based on art, which comes down entirely to personal opinion.
On a technical level... Crysis wins 2007 and Crysis: Warhead wins 2008 on PC. - And despite their "Realistic" approach, they still hold up visually even today.

My mistake, I didn't exactly feel inclined to check the release platform of each game, especially as the Wii isn't a generational leap ahead of the Gamecube on a technical level anyway.

No one gonna mention motorstorm? The mud in that game was just so pleasing to my eyes
Gears 2 certainly has to be up there.

As of 2008 Gears of War 2 probably had the best graphics on consoles. Followed by MGS4, COD4, and GTA4 (lot of 4s there).
For art direction I'd say Bioshock and Metroid Prime 3 were the best.
Of course Crysis blows all of them out of the water on a technical level, but it was PC only at the time.
Id say Mario Galaxy. That game all round is an eye catcher. Achieves amazing CGI graphics without relying on heavy hardware to do so. Its pure developer talent at its best.
Also Dead Space looks phenomenal. Seeing those ragged doll physics with a realistic dark artsyle at the time was also amazing.
Super Mario Galaxy. Looked as good as any HD game at the time. Nintendo worked magic on Wii’s modest hardware with that game.
Valkyria Chronicles is the first game that comes to mind. I was very impressed with the visuals when I first saw them, and I think they still hold up well today. I also have to add Bioshock, because the intro and several locales in the game were visually interesting.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
