On a technical level Prime 2 essentially matched, but didn't surpass Prime 1, so the original was a much higher achiever for its time IMO.

From an artistic standpoint I think Prime 1 was better and regarding the games themselves I think it was far, far superior to the sequel.

Prime 2 did have higher polygon counts and better texture resolution than Prime 1, as a result of Retro having more experience with the hardware by the time of 2.

I believe it.  It's just that Prime 1 was so advanced for its time that Prime 2 just couldn't wow me like that all over again.

Ah, I see, fair enough. 

Th GCN game that wowed me the most like that was Rogue Squadron 2. Holy cow, seeing that game in 2001 was like watching a playable Hollywood movie, it was so insanely far ahead of any other game at the time. I couldn't believe that tiny little box was generating such mind blowing visuals.
