Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also all of the playable characters have utterly high-end delicious voiceacting and their different playstyles are good to explore.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The dialogue/story is a bit slow but I found it uniquely entertaining and fun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficult but fair, good engine (never crashed), good controls, pretty graphics and great soundtrack.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Another interesting element is the dynamic mission risks, unexpected mid-level events that can beef up the difficulty considerably just when you think you’ve completed your mission with ease.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, this game has enough charm and fun visuals to make up for most of the headache I had while achieving the "GLOBAL MEGALORD" ranking on each level.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can shoot, slide, and use an array of power-ups and throw-able weapons to help clean up the city of their gangs.
