Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
When I got to gameplay, I actually expected a game that plays to the music, however this is not the case.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I'd love to see something larger, with a story and original music, somewhere down the line, but for now, Vinyl is probably one of the most entertaining free titles available to anyone who loves music.
