My cousin is Playing through Skies of Arcadia as we speak over at my place (via VGA on my Vizio 26' LED TV) and i gotta say it looks damn gorgeous! Very solid looking character models! Very well animated facial expressions and that "SEGA color" is so inviting and compliments the games atmosphere so well... Even after all these years, it impresses me every time i see it. And seeing "Pinta" puts a smile on face LOL!

I still kinda think that Headhunter is probably one of the most techically brilliant games on the console, it remains, for me, one of the few/only truly amazing 3rd person, modern action adventures, along the same vein as Splinter Cell or Call Of Duty in terms of modern day story telling and shooting action, obviously its not an FPS.

Mostly Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure 2.

tonnes of games for the DC show off its awesome power, not just a handful here and there, Shenmue 1 and 2 are both testaments to its amazing abilities, along with games like MSR, SOA, Le Man 24 HR, Dead Or Alive, the sad fact is that the DC was never fully pushed to its limits, had it been thoroughly used by developers it may have begun to show its full potential. Half Life looks pretty good on DC too

to me, Propeller Arena may be the most technically impressive DC game.
It features:
. gorgeous graphics with amazing light and shadows effects (ex light reflections one the propeller blades when you're at low throttle)
. zero fault framerate !
. undownsampled graphics at 4 split-screen mode, and still zero fault framerate !
. voice chat with solid online lag-less (I guess) 6 player gameplay whe could unfortunaltely not test ! :/ (but what a perfomance with a 33K/56K modem !)
I do not know another game with such a perfect realisation unless F355 challenge maybe (another YU-God's game!) :)

Oh man, propeller arena still blows me away every time I play it. I love going to the city level and flying under the VERY low bridges by the water because if you time it just right you can do a backflip command and fly right back through it perfectly and it just looks so amazing. My biggest problem with the Aero series was there wasn't any cool place to do tricks! I would spend hour in ace combat 5 just seeing how crazy I could fly under bridges and between wires :D

prop arena is pretty good, has anyone actually played Soldier Of Fortune at all? I actually thought that was pretty impressive technically, the guns always looked good and you could injure different body parts of your enemies, such as blowing off limbs, head shots, they would react differently depending on where they got hit etc, pretty awesome game for way back then
