Best Graphics (Artistic) on GameCube
 
 
Though the technical elements of a game's graphics are extremely important, the artistic quality of the game's visual design is what finally leaves a lasting impression on the player. Game graphics technology continues to improve drastically every year, thus lending artists an increasingly effective medium for realizing their artistic concepts in their games. The winner of Best Graphics (Artistic) on GameCube is:

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

 
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Silicon Knights

Subtle lighting, a number of historically authentic and realistic settings, a dozen lifelike player characters, an unnerving variety of creepy monsters, and countless bizarre special effects make Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem certainly one of the most atmospheric GameCube games to date, but it's also one of the most artistic. The sanity effects certainly stand out amid the game's generally impressive and polished presentation: As the game's characters begin to lose their grip on reality, their fear and dread begin to manifest themselves in any number of bizarre, often scary, often absurdly funny hallucinations that will keep you guessing as to whether what you're seeing is truly as it seems. Eternal Darkness' tasteful blend of realism and the supernatural works extremely well, lending the game a subtle yet carefully constructed sense of style that's by all means artful.
