Gameplay trumps all in almost every case. The graphics can suck and the story can be almost non-existent or not the best, but fantastic gameplay usually more than makes up for it.
If I'm playing a Mario platformer, I'm expecting very little in the way of the story. Heck, I expect little in storytelling in any platformer.
So to me gameplay alone can usually make a game great. Sound and Music are pretty important as well. I would say graphics and story usually isn't as important.
