Not exacly new, but the Myst series are pure artwork if you ask me. A lot of people would name Riven as the winner.
I don't know if that is what you are after, "best graphic" can mean more than that. |

Yeah probably Dreamfall for 3D, or MI3 for 2D greatness

Yeah possibly, but it's so good! I would just say that if someone was interested in any adventure game (assuming they have played none) and would wish to be pointed towards a game with good graphics, and would consider well done 2D animation to fall in this catagory then for what the game is worth, art direction/character/story/dialogue, then that's what I'd recommend

Logic would have it that the most recent games (any genre) also have the best graphics. While that's usually the case, there are exceptions (looking at you, "Staff of Kings"!) When it comes to adventure games, I think you can pretty much follow that theory. Of course there's also the question of whether you're looking for a photorealistic design, or if you consider a cartoonish style to be "less" in the graphics department.

I'll wait until Heavy Rain comes out to answer the question.

Artistic Style for Adventure Games varies but there are some wonderful ones:
Photorealistic or Full Realism Myst Series Riven Myst III Exile Myst IV Revelations Myst V URU: The Complete Chronicles MOUL: Myst Online URU Live when it returns probably early next year Heavy Rain (when it comes out) Mysterious Island I and II Culpa Innata Utopia City Somewhat Stylized but VERY Beautiful The Longest Journey The Longest Journey II Dreamfall Syberia I and II Nihuru Mozart The Last Secret (in french) Beyond Atlantis II Atlantis Evolution Still Life 80 Days Animated (Cartoon style but beautiful) The Broken Sword I and II Runaway I and II (III on the way) So Blonde The Last Express Day of the Tentacle (quite stylized but fun) Old Style (earlier in style but Very Beautiful) Kyrandia I and II Moneky Island II Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis The Dig Unique Style but also Beautiful Grim Fandango Ripley Believe it or Not: The Emporers Tomb Day of the Tentacle (quite stylized but fun)

I myself wouldn't use the word 'beautiful' to describe new Sam & Max... more like, "butt-ugly".

I think millions might disagree re the Myst series, and the new Sam and Max series is, i agree, probably not the quality of beautiful but it is fun. I will remove that.

No need to remove it, only an opinion. And I agree Myst is great, but as before, not everyones cup of tea. I think new comers to the genre may be put off by it's difficulty and open end...ness.

But that isn't the point. The category is realistic beauty, and the Myst series demonstrates just that, even if it might be too hard for people. This thread isn't about gameplay. I don't see how it is favoritism.

I've always been in love with Bill Tiller's artwork, and still am, so I say AVS and more recently, Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island.

Yeah I can see your points now, I'm only saying that Myst isn't the best introductory adventure game by my own experience (meaning friends I've passed it onto didn't really buy into it like they have with other adventure games). But yeah, that being said I suppose I can understand other people gravitating towards it. To each his own I suppose...
