Heroes of Might & Magic III: Horn of the Abyss

The most important thing is the IDEA. Without an idea, no matter how good the graphics are, there is no game. For a true player, graphics are secondary. You can draw an analogy with a beautiful woman. She's beautiful, everyone likes her, like a shiny coin, but after a couple of minutes of talking to her, when you realize that she's as dumb as a 180-degree angle, you immediately feel a strong aversion. This is just a slight exaggeration. Never will flashy 3D overshadow the Idea.
