Well I remember when Halo was first revealed and the graphics were generally similar to what they would look like in the final game but the game was slow and had frame rate issues. Gamers and reviewers whined and questioned whether the game would be great. Then when Halo 2 for the PC was revealed it also largely had the graphics that would be seen on the final version but was also slow and had framerate issues. If I recall the IGN reviewer said it was boring because it was like you were walking in molasses. For good reason, this is primarily about the gameplay of multiplayer, Bungie could have decided to leave the graphics downgraded (I think it was the Kotaku reviewer who said the main thing seemed to be no AA) so it played fluidly. And they get rewarded with gamers and reviews whining about the poor graphics. Bungie just can't win no matter what they do. As a side note it is great to watch Xbots now suddenly say "well the graphics aren't great but the gameplay will be awesome". Not yet quite recognizing the secret of the Wii's success but one small step at a time.
