no, it would not
it would look like ass because of a very specific reason:
1- games account for all kinds of events and thus the animations must be simplified and only have the necessary.
2- having lots of drawn frames will over-specialize the animation and thus be extremely tedious and require way too many man hours for even 3 minutes of "gameplay".
3- enjoy paying like $500 for said 3 minutes of game
this being said, either you want a fully 3D game with a 2D shader, or you want pain and suffering of all the chinese subsidiary animators
