Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game is linear and guides you well through the story, not giving you many options to explore much despite the world being significantly interesting.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay itself is fantastic.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Some will have been pre-rendered with really nice lighting while others are low quality videos of what seems to be in-game.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Because of how much I love the gameplay, it's sad that they didn't include the multiplayer modes in the remaster which would've been a great experience actually playing with other people and it seems Saber isn't going to be updating the game at all for it.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
They did get the animations of the characters down pretty well, and that combined with the voice acting really makes it feel like you are hanging out with the real Ghostbusters, even if they barely acknowledge you.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Yes, some animations are still stuck in 30 fps.
