The support/power up drops are a cool mechanic, but the airial door guner "scorestreak" sucks.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The weapons feel good but the gears of war style active reload mechanic is pretty strange.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the 90s look to the graphics and they nail the dark humor of the original movie.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game itself performs beautifully, the music is inspiring, there are some nice accessibility options to customise your game experience, and while the voice acting is EXTRA goofy even for this franchise, I can see the genuine effort to give fans something we could truly enjoy.

It also runs like butter, and I haven't found any glitches so far
