Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Similar in some ways to the Alien Shooter series, but with a "story" of sorts told with cut-scenes very reminiscent of the original Max Payne.
129 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I like 2d games, I like the top down types and 3d isometrics, this game has dynamic lighting effects and it is not resource intensive.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is amazingly good.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Sound: Sound in the game is fantastic, as is the voice acting in my opinion.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The Xbox 360 controller would not work at first, until I discovered it depends on which USB port you are plugged in to..and suddenly the controller, and game, came alive and things were considerably more fun.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The only problem is the content itself.There is not much of it,I finished the campaign in 4 hours and 17 minutes,which means that the campaign is roughfly 4-5 hours(Insert Angry Joe meme here),but anyway,if you are looking for replayability look elsewhere,there is the survival mode and some multiplayer modes but i doubt any people still play them.
