Erm... Super Mario sunshine for the GC was a graphical beast. Those water effects were amazing.

It's not as advanced as RE4 or Rogue Squadron 2 and 3 though.

I had all of them and i respectifully disagree. SMS was also a free roaming game. RS was an on rails shooter and RE4 was not as impressive  as you make it sound.

Sunshine did indeed have fantastic water effects, but the rest of it was nothing mind-blowing.

And RS was not on rails, you could fly freely around large open areas.

As for RE4, its environmental detail, character models, animation, and lighting all ranked among the most advanced on GC. Compare it to Sunshine; realistic character models have far more animation bones that a simple character like Mario, and Sunshine had pretty much no realtime dynamic lighting at all.
