Well, my opinion is that graphics don't even matter when you put them in terms of value in a game.
Gameplay, game mechanics, fluency and overall feeling of the game is way more important than the graphics.
To make an example, one of the games that I love and think that are one of the best expressions of artistic abilities it's Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past.
@Hus
I gather that you haven't been in gaming for too long right? Or are you telling that you cannot play a game from a past generation just because they look "ugly"? o.O
