Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This doesn't do your traditional "boost" gameplay, it's a normal platformer where you're in control looking around.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
People say that this soundtrack is generic, and while that is mostly true, it's only true because the composers had a lack of unique zones to base the music on and so had to make it work with the basic themes.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Stages are vibrant and saturated (I like this a lot), visuals are decently sharp to my eye (bear in mind I'm not Digital Foundry) and enemy designs... well, suit the environment, ish.
