Graphics

First game is less dark, way better lighting in third for ex.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But still, under a well-thought-out difficulty, I'd have imagined enemies doing more damage, you having slightly less ammo, maybe a bit more aliens, too.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You need to save the money for upgrades, and money is NOT plentiful in this game (and if you spend it all on ammo you can't upgrade!) Music is not bad, sound effects are decent, but the game play...
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is very playable on a dualstick gamepad but can also be played with keyboard / mouse combo where the Q/E keys rotate the view.
