Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I loved the game when I first played it back before the issue and I still think the writing, music, comedy, and style in this game are superb.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I do still think it is fun - though maybe it would be more fun in coop than single player.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise 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.

I played the game using the Xbox controller, and it worked perfectly.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
It is fun, probably even funnier in multiplayer, and the setting is very well crafted.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise 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.
