First, the "critiques" in that Joystiq article were ridiculous... the "graphics" thing was mostly just that the game wasn't colorful enough or something along those lines. Huh?
But as for this one though, it's just not true. I have heard "TP doesn't have great graphics", but it's usually a case of people expecting next-gen graphics out of it even if they shouldn't. Compare it to current-gen stuff, and not next-gen stuff, and it looks fantastic... I agree, there is absolutely no way that this game looks bad compared to the best the Gamecube has to offer. They haven't removed any of the good looks... people just want better now, sadly...
And anyway, I've always firmly believed that art design matters a lot more than technical merit, and this game is no exception... the fantastic art design would shine through no matter what the technical level of the graphics was.
Of course, WW did have a very stylized art style while WW's is more traditional so some may say WW has better graphics because of its art design, but TP has amazing graphics and design. I'd post some screenshot examples if I wasn't unsure about which ones would be consider "not spoilers"... meh, I'll post these. I like some others more but these will do...
