Slapstick is fine. But the reason I was interested in Stranger was because it looked like a darker game. Stranger looks like a badass. He shouldn't be running around with skunks and chipmunks for ammo and a giant vacuum for catching bounties. His character design doesn't match up with it.
As for the graphics, if they'd transferred the sunset/orangey overtone from the cinematics that we've seen into the ingame graphics, it woulda looked a helluva lot better than trying to make everything all colorful (and failing horribly, as the color looks too bland and the lack of dynamic lighting makes me wanna puke).
Like I said, if OWI is supposed to be known for it's great artistic achievements, this definitely isn't one of them.
