Cartoony style graphics....

SE has set a deadline. The original release of the game also had a deadline. They spent all their time working on textures and getting the appearence way way up and ignored the rest just to make pretty trailers for the game. The game itself though, it didn't turn out well.

Do I need to see the folds and crevices on my avatar's shirt? No. I don't even notice them and neither does anyone else. So why was time spent putting them their?

People are obsessed with the appearance right now for one reason. They are an observer, not the participating player whom interact within the game's graphically represented environment. When people play a game, they stop paying attention to how pretty things are and start focusing on the tasks at hand. So anything people say now will quickly be forgotten once they begin playing.

I'll remind everyone; the only thing you've seen up to now are incredibly short (one or two second snap shots) sequences of the game. Fit together in a trailer. You can't judge the game appearance on that.
