Saying that one is shallow for being distracted from the story by the art style is like saying someone is shallow for letting poor dialogue distract them from the great story. Video games are a multi-media art. Gameplay, Writing, Graphics and Music all go into creating the narrative experience. To say that one should look beyond the graphical style to find the real story is essentially saying that at the core all video game can be are a book experience with some flashy graphics, gameplay and music slapped on the side. As far as I am concerned the graphical style the game chooses to use is part of the story they are trying to portray.
