Games come in many forms, colors, and textures, each have their own look(More or less).. :)

But some games stand out, having a wholly unique art style to them, while others might look almost exactly the same as another game... ;)

In your opinion what is the best art style of a any game you have played, or seen?.. :think:

And do you think Art Style has a big impact on your choice of games?. ;)

When I say art style I mean: The choice of color tones, the physical appearance of the world and characters, and basically anything visual that sets the feel of the game.. :handgestures-thumbupright:

Personally the most unique Art Style I have seen would be Mirror's Edge.. But the best I've seen, that's a tough one, I don't know straight away... :D

Mirror's Edge is a damn good one. And a damn good game to boot.

But I think Team Fortress 2 takes the cake. Then entire game, everything about it just oozes with its own flavor of style and character. Hard to beat it I think.

I immediatly thought of Mirror's Edge too.

A good example of an over-used style is the grey-brown concrete/metal corridors filled with dust and debris.

Oh my! I can tell you a very good example on art style in one game:

- Prince of Persia 2008 ( :romance-hearteyes: Elika )

This describes how an autentic "cell shading" art is mixed with an amazing game!

I love when Elika heals a ground. She convert a grey and dark ground into a beautiful landscape.

Ah yes, that did have some pretty nice art in it, and the whole style was pretty cool... ;)

Quite a strange game though... :think:

Hmm

Borderlands was neat. Lacked some environmental diversity though. Mirrors Edge was also pretty cool.

I'm not sure if it counts, but Quake 1 was something :D

Theme and art-style are separate entities though, aren't they?

Hmmm, I'd say an Art Style is part of the Theme, so its kinda separate... :think:

Another interesting one I think is World of Warcraft(Granted the art of certain characters leave a lot to be desired), it has a simple art style, but its always colorful. With the Outlands and Northrend, the art there is pretty neat, but I wouldn't really call that an art style per se.. ;)
