Even though the GC has MUCH worse graphics than the XBOX, I think Retro Studios did a very good job of coaxing as much power out of its graphics card as possible, and Bungie...well...didn't. This is also NOT a poll about game quality in general, just the graphics. Thanks a bunch, Lanscader -------------------- "Sir Lord Baron von Vader-han?" ~ Eddie Izzard

Now, let me explain. Halo1: Uses a familiar terrain(like snow, grass, dirt - we've all seen this exact stuff in a million other games) MP1: Uses a mix of familiar and not so familiar kinds of terrain(plus they got the water effects!) As much as I love Halo1(I'm still playing Halo1 after 3 years straight(I dislike Halo2)) I have to say that, Retro did infact go to the limit for GC Graphics and it turned out awesome. I think the Halo1 textures were just... sort of re-used from many sources. Not that it was bad, just not pushed so far. Halo2 has better graphics than both, however... but who cares. I still play Linley Henzell's Dungeon Crawl. Ya, that's right. Graphics don't matter. This post has been edited by Victim_Zero_One: Jul 5 2005, 08:01 PM

I love how the mummy doesn't need to eat(can't drink potions... oh well, make due), and how the Troll can eat almost anything and regenerates super fast ;) I find it hard to play as humans especially. Currently I am attempting to beat it with a Draconian Summoner(doing alright... still prefer mummies/trolls, and after I give up on the Draco Summoner... I will likely try a Ghoul Death Knight(I hope) or a Spriggan soemthing(like Assassin, or hunter... something stealthy). If not, Spriggan mage of some kind.
