Retaining an artistic, animated look allows many flaws or short comings not to detract from your immersion in the game. Going for hyper realistic looking characters can end up going really bad. Visually, you get a very Arcane Studios looking game, which, in my opinion, is a great thing. The meld of stealth, strategy, and action is perfect, and the ability to lean heavily in any direction of these styles will suit any gamer.
