Graphics just adds to the experience there is a hell of a lot more to a game than just graphics you know, unless of course you are a graphics whore and won't play a game unless it looks a certain way.
Im not a graphic whore... still playing N64's goldeneye
BUT: UT3, without graphic... is nothing! Outdated gameplay, no script, ridiculous net code, etc...
Can understand some ppl like this game, but No Offense, UT is not my cup of tea!
