Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
They don't quite have that charming, mellow vibe to them, but the fast-paced guitar riffs build into good tunes for the gameplay.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
To say that Fistful of Gun is a multiplayer game would be doing it a severe injustice though at it’s heart it really is meant to be played with others, both locally through a wonderful system of couch co-op or online with fully optimised net code.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This is one area that is done well in FG, as the pixel graphics have enough detail to them that everything is conveyed clearly.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Soundtrack: The soundtrack fits the setting well and is neither annoying nor too minimal, they really did a good job balancing it.
