People boast about the graphics in games, like in Gran Turismo 3. Yeah, the cars look real and everything but if the makers wanted more detail they'd have put crash detail in. But then what happens if you slip up and crash into the barrier at the side in the middle of a test run? I mean, who wants to race around the track with a busted Audi, eh? And look at Grand Theft Auto 3. That doesn't have tremendously GOOD graphics, but I can still play on it for hours at a time. I mentioned the graphics to my mate and he didn't even realise until I told him! Like I've said at the top! WHAT'S THE POINT? A game isn't made good by it's graphics, but it can be made bad by its graphics.
Who has played Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty. When I get home from school I play on it for about an hour until my hands sweat so much I come dangerously close to electricuting myself. That has amazing graphics. They even look like real people. But I don't care. I'd like it even if it had graphics no better than Crash Bandicoot 1. Another point. Who enjoys platformers (eg crash bandicoot, jak and daxter, spyro the dragon etc). They don't have breathtaking graphics, but have months of decent gameplay. I've had Crash Bandicoot 1 since I've had my playstation 6 years ago and I still haven't completed it! Like I've said before. What is the point? I rest my case.

He didn't say GT had bad graphics...
And GTA3 does have bad graphics. The grahpics don't *look* bad if you know what I mean, but they probably could have been done on the PSOne.

It may be good to have self-confidance, but I think that replying to your own topic in this way when no-one else wants to is a little silly, really.
But, although I agree that graphics aren't everything, I disagree with your comments entirely. If you think that Crash Bandicoot and GTA 3 have bad graphics, then you clearly haven't been playing games for very long. GTA3 is a very recent title, with modern graphics. I haven't played it, but no-one has ever argued against that. It may not be MGS2, but it's very close to it. Crash is a playstation title, with relatively modern, 3D graphics. It might not be a PS2 game, but the graphics are VERY solid, and exceptional just a few years ago.
Have you played the original Ultima? Any NES titles? Some of the original Infocom text-based games? These are some of the most fun games around (even today), and they don't need 3D.
So I agree with you. But please, don't be so vain as to complement yourself like that. And think before you type. If you think that GTA3 or Crash have "bad" graphics, then there must be something wrong with you.
