Ah yes, excellent pick.
I remember being wowed quite a few times by water in video games.
Banjo Kazooie, where it undulated and where the drops from a splash created their own ripples.
Blinx 2, which I got with my original Xbox, which not only had an interactive 3D water mesh but when you froze time you could carve it out of the way, only for it to splash back in to fill the gaps when time resumed.
Mario Sunshine, Starfox Adventures, and RE4 on Gamecube. The TEV hardware in GCN/Wii was quite good at doing nice looking water.
The ocean in Crysis. Like so much about the game, it looked mind-boggling real for the time.
