Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of comparative experience. I tried Quake II because my son played it, but I do not enjoy that sort of game. I can say the WoW graphics are better than King's Quest IV, and at least as good as Wasteland.
I run with high settings of antialiasing, and I continue to be awed with the quality of the graphics, particularly the textures. If I had any complaint it would be that round objects could use a few more polygons, and my character's breasts a few less.
A separate issue is cartoon nature of the WoW world. That is the thing I like least about the game and something that would make me think twice before buying it.
Before I got in the beta my son said the graphics were much better than could be conveyed by screenshots, and I must say he was right. For once.
