Scott McCloud (the comics artist) says something very interesting about that: The more realistic the character drawings are, they less _you_ project yourself into the story. If this works for a static medium like comics, it could be much more important for dynamic conten like videogames. No wonder that cartoon-like characters like Mario, Link, or Pacman comes to mind before Chris Renfield (for instance).
