I immediately thought of the bullet physics games like gradius, parodius, raidan, r-type.

What made it of course was the art. An army of digital illustrators working by hand to create bitmaps that pop.

One pseudo 2.5d game I'm playing now is Iridion 2 GBA (2003). You can see the care taken with the art design team, pure lovers of the genre ;)
