Have you actually played Lair? Some of the later levels have the most impressive graphics of any game this generation, bar none. Unfotunately, the quality throughout the game is somewhat uneven. Because of that, it loses out from an artistic standpoint. From a technical standpoint though, Lair is actually the most advanced game, graphically, that has been released for a home console with Uncharted being the only game that approaches it. This is referring to running the game in 720p, however. It becomes a chop fest at 1080p.

 Of course, graphics can't save a game from numerous design and control flaws.

1. Uncharted (the best looking console game out there)
2. Gears of War (a year and a half later and it's still one of the best out there)
3. Ratchet and Clank Future (yay colors!)
4. Lost Odyssey (outside of the CG, it's only occasionally impressive and bland the rest of the time)
5. Resistance (the size of the environments is impressive and some of the design is cool later on but it's not the most impressive game out there by any means)
6. Mass Effect (massive performance issues shat all over the graphics in this game - it's hard to be impressed by textures that are just loading into existence as you leave an area - even in the cutscenes!)

Uncharted ... thats the best looking ... than I would vote either gears or R&C ...

Uncharted's textures do NOT have that fugly plastic look that you see on so many games these days. All of the textures were hand-drawn as they were not going for a photo-realistic look. The most impressive texture work I've ever seen can be found in Uncharted.

That screenshot with the rocks is deceiving as the water is actually moving and when in motion it looks entirely different. 

@Dev:

I've never played Lair. I basing my opinion on the trailers I've seen of the game. The games graphics aren't all that to me. Actually, Uncharted and Ratchet's graphics are far above the other games on the list. I've never been impressed by Lost Odyssey or Mass Effect as well. I remember Lost Tears throwing a fit over me saying that. lol

I can understand PS3 owners thinking Uncharted is amazing graphics. But I'm sorry, there is some horrible flat textures throughout the game. Obvious low poly count on characters. And animation flaws. I wasnt that impressed. But then I own Crysis and the top 6 360 games.

And you think LO has better graphics?you my friend are blinded by your love for LO.The video you posted is not in game play,,,The in game play looks ok but not anywhere near uncharted ,call of duty4, gears of war.I wouldn't put LO in top 10 best garphics this gen( I am talking about in game and not the cutscenes)but hey  you are entitled to your opinion as I am.you REALLYYYY like that game ,don't ya?

the web site you always post is so slow for me ,,don't know why,,,but I have played this game,,it's good but not AAA,,,(I don't know if my frind's 360 was dying cause it's been acting wierd,but the game had long load times frequantly)

I really dont know what to say apart from, Most JRPG fans will tell you either it's the best they've played or the best since ff7. It is an amazing rpg.

Ps, load times are no different than Blue Dragons. and not that frequent.
