Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is kind of silly (more of an excuse for the game to exist and have its levels) but even so, the exploration and gameplay are still fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It follows through on its premise well in that you graphically go through the history of gaming; you start with wireframes, then you get into unshaded polygons, then you get into shaded polygons, and then you get into textured polygons with dynamic lighting, which unfortunately made the game slow down for me.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoy the pop culture and video games references in the different dialogue as well as the sarcastic tone of the narration.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The nice folks behind the game were even considerate enough to release the soundtrack for free alongside the game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its funny, the controls are tight, it has a nice difficulty curve.
