Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics were what I'd call "okay", but YMMV.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
TL;DR: Recommended, but with the caveat that you're getting a game from the golden age of 6.5/7 out of 10s (that already felt like a homage to those very same 6.5/7 out of 10s), whose gameplay and design choices may mean it wears out its welcome long before you've experienced all it has to offer.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
- Superb orchestral music and sound design (LOTR style orchestra) and pretty good voice acting as everything here is voice acted
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
