Whereas I agree wholeheartedly about graphics v gameplay neither one is mutually exclusive of the other. I love Stars! for example and I like SE4 but I dont play them anymore due to the graphics (as well as other factors). GC2 looks the part and plays pretty well also. If I have to stare at a screen for hours/days/months on end I would prefer it to be attractive rather than unattractive. I wouldnt play a 2d game and why should I these days when computer power can handle far better graphics than they could years ago?

Apart form the fact that graphics have a hell of a lot to do with immersion in a game.
