Gameplay all the way. I still play Starwing after over a decade. With today's technology those graphics would look primitive on a cellphone. But it's still one of the best flying games ever made. I love it. Same goes for games like Streets Of Rage, the 2D Sonic games, and too many NES games to count.
Besides, IMHO modern graphics are madly over-rated anyway. Here's a few games said to have incredible graphics and why I think they look awful:
- Gears Of War. Yeah, it looks good. But an awful lot of grey, don't you think? It's dull. Give me Super Mario World and that bright yellow cape over this ANY DAY.
- Halo 3. Billed as the biggest game release in history, it doesn't look all that great to me. Not bad, but how it deserves the accolades it gets I'll never know.
- Modern Warfare 2. Suffers from 'its all grey' syndrome in many places in multiplayer from what I've played so far.
But at least there are some games with actual colour in them these days. Uncharted 2 looks incredible and Avatar looks phenominal.
Erm, Gears and MW2 are supposed to be dark and realistic. Sorry buddy but the world simply isn't build of sunshine, flowers, and Dreamcast graphic engines. As for Halo, it looks pretty good but it's not the best for the 360. And it's definitely not the biggest release in gaming history. There's been more than enough games that have outsold it.
