I like all art styles as long as its technically great.
An art style doesnt really impact how much I like the game visually. I like cartoony graphics like borderlands, cel shaded and comicy ones like valkyria chronicles, or dark and low colour visuals like killzone 2 and MGS4.
Cant really think of an example where an art style didnt fit a game to the extent that I actually cared. Its just something I dont consider to be on a scale.
At the end of the day, video games are interactive, so the technical style should matter more than minor things like the colour... which btw people over-exaggerate about being 'grey' or black and white.
tbh if it bothers anyone that much, just adjust your TV settings. you can make almost any 'grey' game look cartoony (almost) and vice versa.
