Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Each level takes you across a fantastic imagining of a post-apocalyptic Seattle (circa 1986), featuring both indoor, outdoor and underground elements, with hauntingly beautiful backdrops making for some of the best visuals, atmosphere and tone in recent gaming memory.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
While some are pretty obviously or even cheaply hidden, others will take a lot of time to be found and that still applies when you search the menu for the chapter they must be looked for in.
