Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Co-Op for this style of game is also very well done, and really feels like an odd beat-em up game but in shooter format, like old school Contra or NARCS.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Game art, story, characters, and the voice acting are pretty pulpy though, love those aspects.
