Yeah, Sonic Colours looks amazing for the hardware. The opening level of Planet Wisp where you race through the grass was a particular highlight.

Planet Wisp indeed looks gorgeous (never played Sonic Colors or any other Sonic game for that matter). Surprised the metacritic score of Colors is so "low". I usually only watch independent reviewers on youtube and Sonic Colors was well received for the most part.

I honestly think Metroid Prime 1 (2002) looks better than Sonic Boom. Is this just me or do others think the same?

Prime 1 I don't quite think so, but Prime 2 and Resident Evil 4 definitely, which is something of a problem when your Wii U game gets visually upstaged by Gamecube games a decade old...

When I play Metroid Prime I don't have to cringe at the awful graphics. When I'm watching a let's play of Sonic Boom I cringe a lot (I'm watching Cobanermani456's let's play of it). I don't just mean technically, but art style is also very important. And Sonic Boom just comes off as flat/bland. But yeah, Resident Evil 4 was one gorgeous game for the Gamecube.

Did Sonic Boom get a downgrade by the way? I don't remember it looking this bad in the first few trailers. And it didn't look good back then either. And why aren't there any reviews yet? Can't be because of an embargo right? Is no gaming site interested in this game lol?
