Hmmm. Looks like a flash movie. Kind of unappealing.
It generally looks better on high-poly models. For a game, I would not reccomend it.

But don't get cel shading confused with "toon lines" (there's probably a more technical term here I don't know). Cel shading is just reducing the colors used in shading to two or three. Toon lines are black lines drawn at angles greater than a certain number, usually 90 degrees, I think. A few things that are often overlooked are toon lines with gradient shading or colored toon lines.
