Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Each of the four characters is beautifully hand drawn and glides across the screen in unique ways, usually aligned to their elemental property.
51 of 112 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I also must add that the visuals are absolutely gorgeous, there's so many beautiful vistas and backdrops with tons of variety.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
4 Player Co-Op is a fun inclusion, but the restriction to make it local only and some negative implications it has on progression systems make it a haphazard implementation at best...
21 of 112 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The voice acting varies from decent to very good and each character sounds quite different.
16 of 112 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Gamepad works fine, the animations are amazing (it looks like a Don Bluth cartoon), but combat feels a bit off.
