84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But there is still a decent quality to the gameplay that is available now, so it is worth checking out and there is some fun to be had here.

11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It'll be brilliant when they add multiplayer, especially for the firefighting missions.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
