Do graphics add gameplay?

No they don't. The only games that graphics actually matter are FPSs

 

false. UT2004 (with engine from 2003) is still the best multiplayer game out there with only TF2 being able to approach it in some areas, but overall it falls short. I'll also take FEAR, with its bland evironments, but the best AI, over almost any single-player shooter as well (Though FEAR did have amazing firefights just because of special effects, they added nothing).

 

OT: No I don't believe graphics make a gameplay at all. But more advanced mechanics (AI,physics, etc.) usually do. If you gave me a game that looked like Quake II or DOOM but with all the elements from say, UT2004, that'd game would still be better than just about anything on the market.
