Compared to other EDF games, the visuals in IR are more refined, as well as looking more somber or imposing.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It still is an arcade game at heart but it is closer to a coop RPG than is the case with the other EDF games which tend to be super-cheesy and shallow by comparison.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most of the voice acting is pretty good, though one of the scientists has an ethnic accent that I think is hokey.
