Am I in the minority for being mildly disappointed in MW2?

On metacritics, MW2 rivals Uncharted 2, LittleBigPlanet, and GTA4.... which is absurd. This game is above average, but not one of the best. The engine feels dated, and the graphics are very good but not excellent.

Graphics don't have anything to do with the quality of a game. Elite Beat Agents is as good, in my opinion, as any game on your list, and it's graphics are shitty. OOT is one of the best games of all time, and it's graphics are terrible. Crysis has far better graphics than anything you've listed, and good gameplay, but it's nowhere near as good as MW2.

I don't know why you're so hung up on graphics. The graphical presentation is fine. The game is v-synced at 60fps. It can only look so good on a console, and as good as the graphics are, it's actually stunning that IW was able to achieve those things. Imagine if you V-synced Drakes Fortune and then tried to actually play it.

The game is graphically impressive because of what it is able to achieve with performance on consoles at such a high level of graphical fidelity(vlock, 30-60fps, onscreen action that isn't wallpaper, ect), and that's why it got such high graphical scores, imho.
