A short list of interesting and sometimes odd visually ambitious games on the Wii.
 | Kirby's Epic Yarn Buy new: $49.99 Yarn Kirby unleashed on a felt backdrop. Say what you will about Kirby's Epic Yarn but this is one unique looking game. |
 | Lost in Shadow Buy new: $39.99 While most Wii games struggle with light sourcing this game is nothing but light and shadows. |
 | MadWorld Buy new: $6.90 / Used from: $0.01 Ultra Violent Wii game with graphic novel styled cel-shading. Right down to the black and white colors... or lack of colors. |
 | LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 Buy new: $45.99 / Used from: $41.89 LEGO video game style finally gets a stab at Harry Potter. |
 | Just Dance Buy new: $28.54 / Used from: $23.00 you'll find no chunky Avatars here only sleek silhouettes. It's like an iPod commercial is invading your living room. |
 | Trauma Team Buy new: $34.98 / Used from: $29.99 I love the moving illustrated stills in Trauma Team. (Never seen it before in a video game.) Couple that with professional voice acting and you have an awesome game that exceeds past expectation. |
 | WarioWare: Smooth Moves Buy new: $73.95 / Used from: $19.99 Tons of visual variety in this game's style. 3d, 2d, childish scribbles, and scientific diagrams. WarioWare showcases them all. |

 | Drawn to Life The Next Chapter Buy new: $16.20 / Used from: $5.48 Half the game looks pretty plain and the other half you draw yourself. That's a lot of pressure on you. |
 | Super Paper Mario Buy new: $49.20 / Used from: $19.49 Moving away from the paper doll theme that launched the series, Super Paper Mario offers up a unique looking three-dimensional adventure in a two-dimensional world. |
 | No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Buy new: $21.94 / Used from: $13.34 As Nintendo hosts a retro revolution on the Wii, NMH2 pushes 8-bit graphics on the mainstream. |
