Playablilty is everything.

New graphics help so the new world doesn't remind you of all the horribly boring places you've wasted time on in other playerworlds. Graphics are a good hook to get curiousity up, and give a feel of professionalism. Good graphics inspire hope in new arrivals that the rest of the world may have the same attention to detail. But, it's still mostly marketing - the proof is in *if* the rest was done professionally too.

As for a 'score', I think it should always be 'pass', 'fix this' or 'fail'.

The 'score' will end up being it's overall survival and popularity a year later.
