To me, the graphics play a decent role in how a game should be rated. But in my opinion, thats only a portion of how a game is rated. A game needs to have a story line. I'm more of a gamer that likes to see how a story is played out. However if it was between graphics and game play, I'd go with game play.

Either to an extent, if it looks unbelievably good, even a mediocre game could be fun and vice versa.

Oooohh, that's a question i always ask myself. personally, i tend to go for the gameplay more; the graphics are added brownie points.

I choose better gameplay. Just recently I bought Mechwarriors 4: mercenaries, which came out in like 2002 and even though the graphics arent great i just love atmosphere that is created in the game in order to make up for it. Like during the tournament matches there will be an announcer who will talk about the match as its going on, which makes everything seem more real.

First Gameplay then graphics, it wouldn't be worth playing if it didn't great gameplay. Gameplay keeps you coming back for.

I can play a game with okay graphics, but i won't play a game that doesn't seem to have any point at all. I need the story line lol

it has to be gameplay. no matter how a game looks, if it isnt fun to play then no one is going to play it.

I'm much more drawn to graphics. But if a game has an interesting story or new features, I'd play it too. I'm in love with GTA IV for the fact that the graphics are legend and the physics are really sweet.

I personally have always preffered good gameplay. But I cant say that graphics arent important . They just dont make games fun they make them immersive I think there is a difference.

Story line and gameplay all the way!If you play a game for graphics you may as well watch a movie.I'd rather play a 2d sprite powered game with the most incredible storyline known to man than any overpowered graphics game.Oh, just to add.Legend Of Zelda: The Ocarina Of TimeGraphics can be made from cardboard cut outs (no lie), yet at one point no too long ago was rated the greatest game in history. I don't know if this still stands though

For me it's a mixture of both. You can't have one without the other, also, story plays a big role on it too.
