Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
TL;DR: Hell’s Highway remains a worthwhile game, especially at its under-$5 sale prices, with fun and refreshing core mechanics and commendable writing hampered by technical issues.
154 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This is of course a large jump from the first 2 games because the graphics are so different, but the gameplay has somewhat changed as well.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics, even ten years on, are serviceable, and the new slo-mo moments are a nice touch, if perhaps a bit too frequent.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
I would definitely recommend this as an FPS to buy during a sale and spend a few hours on.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Also the sound design is great and as the bullets fly over your head in cover and the enemies speaking correct German, which is a rare thing to see to be honest.
