We've all heard the notion of people choosing to play games with bad graphics but good gameplay over games with good graphics but worse... blah blah you know the rest.

So, what are some of the ugliest games you ever played, but that gameplay was so good you couldn't stop playing it... (older past generation games with relatively poor grahics for the times don't count)

disgaea 2 looked like garbage but the core gameplay was addicting enough to keep me going.

well, some people don't like how the King of fighters series looks, but I like the graphics of most of the games in the series.

Hmm where do I begin... Infantry Online - graphics are not all that, but the gameplay is one of the best I have experienced in any game. Very underrated underpopulated game. Diablo 2 - crappy graphics but still good to this day. Ultima Online - never great in the graphics department, again unbelievable gameplay. Soldat Counterstrike - ok it's not crappy, but the graphics are not super, still a great game.

I think nearly every Sid Meier game fits quite comfortably in this thread.

Mount&Blade is quite a good example of newer games. No matter how sucky rest of the game is, the combat is the best out there so far.
