Besides being fun, what's expected from games?

But, in a nutshell, is it ok if a game is just fun, and the fun is replayable?  Or do games need to be more than that?

Yes. That's what I want from a game- fun. Too many of the newer games are so much about graphics and story that, well, the fun is gone. This isn't to say that gaming is a bad medium to tell a story, but it shouldn't be forced; let me have fun exploring it, going through it, living it, etc.
