Co-op

86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Long story short, this is a great game for coop action, however, it is short, and for the price for this game, feels a bit expensive.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Either way, on gameplay, it is worth a play through in my opinion but there are certainly better games out there so there's that.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite the combat being boring and repetitive, the story and atmosphere definitely manages to let the game be amazing.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Foul Play is easily comparable to Castle Crashers due to it's art style and simplistic combat - it looks and almost plays quite like a Flash game even though the game doesn't seem to be in Flash.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is fun, probably even funnier in multiplayer, and the setting is very well crafted.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack fits the theme very well and I do like the menu music, though it's nothing spectacular, it's just good and fits the game well.
