Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visuals are top-notch, the art style is really pleasing and in a sense idyllic.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is relaxing, yet challenging; there hasn't been anything that made me ragequit, just try harder; the normal difficulty setting seems to be really balanced, and also implementing checkpoints makes the frustration factor go waaaay down.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Overall great game with memorable music, characters and challenges.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The levels are laid out in such a way that each jump, kick, bounce and deflection adds a complementary tune to the soundtrack, and it makes you feel like the songs are not just background audio but a real part of the experience.

Just starting to get back into this on the PC version with a Dualshock 3 (yes 3) controller with a wireless usb receiver (you can search many good ones on amazon).
