Gameplay

36 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
Its controls were pretty tight, the mechanics were fun and simple, the levels were clever and well-designed, the boss battles were intense, unique, and gave you a feeling of intimidation, and the atmosphere and music were unforgettable.
Controls

7 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
The game isn't built for a controller, but it works.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
7 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
The enemies themselves aren't anywhere near the heights of Donkey Kong Country's Kremlings, the soundtrack is merely servicable, and the story gets the job done with minimal fuss.
