Any pretty (and good) games for the Wii?

I really want to buy RE4 for the Wii, but I've already played and beat it on another console. But I really want the game bacause of the price and because I really want a good looking game on the Wii. It upsets me that while the Wii is more powerful than all the previous gen consoles, it's general graphics all look equivalent to the PS1 and Dreamcast.
I don't people telling me to just get RE4. I'm asking for other games that look very good on the wii. I'd also like the game to actually be good, so that I'd actually buy it. Only suggest games that are out currently in America.

eh?
Either way, Blur and Sonic are the two prettiest Wii games I own.
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Red Steel
Elebits
Rampage
WarioWare

Super Monkey Ball
Resident Evil 4
Mario Party 8
Sonic
Godfather
Cooking Mama
WiiPlay
Rayman: Raving Rabbids
Super Paper Mario
And the ones that are bolded are games I'd recommend to other people for one reason or another. I think that's a pretty damn good list if you ask me.
The limed ones look purdy. (Though Elebits is arguable, I think the game looks pretty however.)
You're right, those look exactly the same.
also, that zelda image isn't an ingame screenshot. the actual model looks a little worse.
It's not the component switcher, I have mine direct and it still looks kinda bad. Sonic is fairly good looking (though I don't like the game at all).
No, he meant PS1 ... it's hyperbole, not literal.
And literally speaking some Wii games look like PS2 games. Has something to do with them being lazy ports from the PS2 to the Wii.
She didn't look like that in my version.
Shit.
Hmm. I already own all the games suggested except for RE4 and Paper Mario. And my description of what I wanted was horrible. I meant technically pretty with 3D graphics, as opposed for style pretty. I like Mario's graphics, but it's not the style I was looking for.
I'm still assuming RE4 is a good looking game. Anything more techincally, omg poly pushing 3D graphics more pretty than RE4? And a good game? Ratatouille and transformers look good on the back of the box, but that doesn't say if they really do look good or if they're good games.
The first real proof of the Wii's graphical muscle doesn't come out until Galaxy drops. This is pretty normal, however, as you didn't really see a PS2 game that looked better than a Dreamcast game until MGS 2 dropped a year + after launch. What you are mainly seeing now are either high end GCN graphics (SPM, TP, RE4, Elebits) or worse, shitty PS2 upgrades (Scarface, Godfather, a dozen other games)
Corruption could go either way. I think it will lean more in the direction of Wii level graphics than just high end GCN graphics.
Transformers
Ratatouille
Godfather
Surf's Up
... Chicken Shoot
I can look up other sites, but I still value G&T's opinion on games.
Transformers: 59
Ratatouille: 65
Godfather: 77
Surf's Up: 62
Chicken Shoot: Only three reviews: 63, 25, 20
Of those, you'd probably only want to play Godfather, which apparently is better than reviews give it credit for. And it looks like ass, as a ported PS2 game. Honestly, if you want a pretty game you haven't played yet, you'll probably have to pick a different platform.
Edit: Played Odin Sphere yet?
I guess I was just hoping she would look that good in TP.
Misery.
It doesn't look half as good as Galaxy.
Proof will come soon enough.
Pikapuff, you realize that group of games you listed is a bunch of third party liscensed crap. The only good game in the crop is Godfather, which looks asstastic.
And I know you can't buy it right now, but Super Mario Galaxy looks great in all the videos I've seen of it.
I own Godfather, and it's amazing. If you've not played any versions of it, I HIGHLY recommend the Wii version, by far.

Zelda Twilight Princess
This game is a lot of fun, but I haven't finished it. It's very derivative of all the other 3D Zeldas out there and I really don't feel like it adds anything new to the mix. Basically, if you've played an eariler, pre-Wind Waker Zelda, this one has better graphics. It is fun nonetheless.
Excite Truck
Fun to drive around and do different things, but it's a very delicate control. This is an entertaining racing game, even if you're a noob or dislike racers. It's overpriced, though.
Wario Ware
Lots of minigames that are cute. The "baton" theme is quite an amusing addition. IS fun at parties.
Wii Sports
Best game, but seriously needs more boards for golf.
Wii Play
The only good game here is tanks and that is best in multiplayer. For $10 though, it's good.
Trauma Center
If you can get past all the Japanimation crap, this is an interesting game; I haven't gotten past the part where you have to get kidneystones out of the patient though. And setting the bone is impossible.
Super Paper Mario
DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU DID NOT LIKE PAPER MARIO RPG OR THOUSAND YEAR DOOR. In fact, go get Thousand Year Door for the GameCube on the cheap and play that first; if you like it, this game is for you; if you didn't like it, don't buy this game.
Elebits
The game is cute and is fun, but after a while it gets repetitive and as many have said, it truly feels like a tech demo. Only get this at a discount price.
Raving Rabbids
I had the most fun with this game; it has a ton of variation. You can get it without feeling guilty.
Godfather: Black Hand
This game is essentially GTA with a Godfather skin on it and Wii controls. Does a passable job as a FPS at times, but otherwise the entirety gets repetitive with harder opponents. It's fun if you've never played GTA or if you enjoy the Godfather movies. Worth buying.
Games I have not purchased or played and why
Super Monkey Ball: Blitz
I have heard only bad things about this game in comparison to Wario Ware and Rabbids
Resident Evil 4
I own the GC original and have not yet tried this game; would consider buying it at $20 or less.
The Bigs
I would like to know if the Wii controls are any good and if it's worth it.
Cooking Mama
I have the DS version and it's dull. Would probably pick up at a bargain price.
Tiger Woods
I have heard good things but I need more encouragement. Plus, golf isn't my game.
Madden 07 / 08
Is there any difference between 07 and 08? How are the Wii controls? I've heard good things in the reviews, but again need more encouragement.
Games I am Waiting For
No More Heroes
There is a lot of hype around this game; I will wait to see if it lives up to it before buying.
Alien Syndrome
I loved the original.
Battalion Wars 2
I have the original and will wait to see if this actually improves on it or if it is simply more of the same.
Call of Duty 3
32 player combat on the Wii!
Manhunt 2
Dammit.

Whichever. The one that's coming out with the multiplayer. THAT ONE.
Yeah, THAT ONE.
Also, the original Paper Mario is on the VC now.
Same thing.
