Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Because if I am being honest, most of the story completely flew over my head.
86 of 271 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Still, I would say it’s the definitive way to play the game now at least – performance and visuals are far better than what the game originally had on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I listened to the soundtrack well before actually playing the game and will continue to listen to it in the future – it is that good.
