Quote:[quote]I'd say Rayman 3 wasn't quite as good because it just copied Rayman 2 (and not quite as successfully), while Rayman 2 was new and different... but Ancel wasn't behind Rayman 3 so that isn't too surprising. They just copied past success in gameplay as well. Anyway, French games have a reputation for good graphics, often weird stuff, and also often poor gameplay... at least they used to... don't know how true the gameplay part is, but the art one often is true.
I wasn't talking about Rayman 3. The only Ancel games I've played with really good art are Rayman 2 and to a greater extent BG&E. Rayman 1 looked pretty good, but not outstanding.

Yeah the KQ games don't look half as good as the MI games. And watercolor is not a style of art, per say. You can make very realistic or very unrealistic art with watercolors, just like you can with colored pencils, oil paints, pastels, etc. And only some of that KQ stuff was done with watercolors.
