Gamespot, IGN, and Gamespy are all certainly very impressed by WoW, if you read anything they say... not to mention Blizz fansites obviously. :)
And as for whatever that game is, it certainly has high poly characters, but the environments are quite unimpressive. WoW's look far, far nicer. And please remember, WoW is trying to look cartoonish. That is the style. Thus the cartoonish look, which looks very similar to Warcraft III, is perfect. And given how great Warcraft III looks (sure the models are a bit low poly but you don't notice that when actually playing the game, you just notice how amazingly stylish it all is and how beautiful the game is in motion, especially with groups of troops on the screen... that is, if your comp can handle turning on the graphics all the way...)

Blizz's visual style is some of the best.

The problem isn't with the graphics. It's with your bizarre hatred of Blizzard's beautiful graphical style used in WC3 and WoW.
I mean, seriously try to say that these environments look as nice. (EQ2)
