You can shoot missiles out of the air, blowing up a crowd of space bugs makes a fountain of body parts a hundred feet high, builds are satisfying, and the bossfights are swooshy-cool but fair.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I had so much fun with this, getting new weapons, new GBs and facing more difficult challenges was a treat.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Now I know not everyone is the same but for me I found the difficulty of this game to be fairly close to perfect.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Granted the graphics are relatively basic, but they are also very well stylized in a way that I enjoy.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design otherwise is unremarkable but competent - none of the sound effects will blow you away, but they all convey the right sensations and information without exploding your ears.
