It's pretty impressive that they managed to make such an awesome-looking Sonic game on the Wii though!

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

It's a shame that not many devs tried to max out the Wii's graphical capabilities.

Yeah, it's one of the most under-utilized consoles in terms of its graphical ability. 

At least we did get a few that actually tried to push it; Sonic Colours, Conduit 1 & 2, Metroid Prime 3, Metroid Other M, Jett Rocket, FAST Racing League, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2.

Conduit was one ugly looking game imo. I agree about Metroid Other M, some of the areas looked gorgeous, especially the outdoor one in a forest of some kinds with water running through. Metroid Prime 3 was my favorite looking game I think.

Oh Conduit definitely left a lot to be desired in the art department, but on a purely technical level it was one of the most advanced Wii games, throwing around tons of effects like normal mapping, depth of field, bloom, projected texture lights, etc.

It's the only game I ever regret buying. :p
