I played MO a lot. The gameplay wasn't as polished as the Abe games or Stranger by any stretch, but I enjoyed most of it. I also think they struck quite a good tone in terms of the balance between the fairly dark themes and the cartoon slapstick violence/comedy - for all it was quite lighthearted, it was also quite sinister at points, if not quite as much so as AO.
Personally I felt that, more than dark and comedic, MO was ambient in a way that fit the Oddworld universe, not perfectly, but close to it nonetheless. As a kid, it left me truly aching to see beyond the confines of the world shown in the game, and even now I can't help but feel the same way replaying it.
