Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
(E)xplosions of clever design, whimsical storytelling, and frantic gameplay collide perfectly.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I like the new graphics style better than the classic pixel version because it's more clear how the characters look and how they emote (the pixel avatars are too low res for me).
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I also have to question why the game says the 360 controller is the Ultimate way to play and then has keys for everything on screen instead of buttons.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Seriously, the OST is a masterpiece: it's incredibly nuanced, layered in tones and moods, and remains constantly thrilling and epic.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The user interface could of used some tweaking, it's poorly optimized for PC.
