No kidding. When I think "adventure game" I think Zelda. Mario is an action-platformer.

Well, if you sit back an assess it in a vacuum, then yes, Halo 4 looks really nice. Perhaps I'm just being too hard on its visuals because of all the ridiculous and unnecessary redesigns. In my review of Halo 4, I did give the graphics a 9/10 on the technical side, but only a 6/10 for the art, and the art side got a middling score only because of the fact that I hate the redesigns of the Chief, the Dawn, and the Covies and because most of the armor permutations in MP don't even look like they belong in the Halo universe.
