Possibly Crysis, the lighting is sublime, and the way sun rays cast shadows around objects dynamically looks awesome, through tree branches, and any object you feel like throwing through the air.. But I'm talking about most realistic looking, as for graphical style, and art direction, that's WAY harder to choose, and really just personal opinion

Myst IV is beautiful even if it is prerendered:

Baten Kaitos was always a beauty as well, it oozed charm:

Bioshock is incredible too, just the right balance of graphical "realism" and arty charm. That's the problem I have with games like Crysis, it looks great but that doesn't really last. Games like the above kept me wowed through the whole game because they had so much charm and fitted incredibly well with the game.

Minimum specs to run this game are...

* Pentium 90

* Windows 95/98/ME

* 16 Mb of Ram

* Video Card with 2 Mb

DirectX 5.0 compatible

* Sound Card compatible as above

* CD-Rom 4x reader and 150 MB of free HD space

 

And it still look pretty.

 

One of my favourite games ever...altho it is all pre rendered...great how it all ties in the film and has multiple paths and endings.

I think Metroid Series needs some praise, man.

 

Been playing more prime 3 today and some of it is just plain gorgeous, seriously. The art design is quite literally out of this world (soz) and the lighting is so sumptuous. I wish I could get a good pick of some of the best it has to offer but there aren't many on the net.

 

The attention to detail is mindboggling absolutely flabbergasting attention to detail in some environments.

 

Retro Studios are the best artistic developers around. I don't even wanna think about what they could do with a 360 or PS3.

Yeah, to be fair, the first snow scene in Metroid Prime blew my socks off.

 

I think it blew everyones socks off! Whenever I talk about MP I always ask what was your impression the first time you entered phrendrana. (ps Scan Visor was genius! Why they changed the 3d pictures from the 1st one I don't know.)

After playing GT5p, i know its not complete... but it doesn't look that good.

 

The cars are, incredible but the enviroments feel pretty static and unrealistic in comparison to PGR3/4. Also, the wing mirrors don't have the same detail levels as the rear view mirror... oh and the right analogue should be camera control.
