Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
With how short the story is I wouldn't pay full price for it and the game can generally be found at a huge discount for 1 or 2$.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
I cannot guarantee that these issues did not arise from the fact I played at a higher framerate than the game was likely designed for (144 FPS), but they are still not very fun to experience, and can even soft lock you if you aren't careful.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay also features certain mechanics to set itself apart from other shooters of its era, namely the Judge meter and arresting mechanic.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style and soundtrack of the game are probably its best features - the visuals are striking and very pleasant for the eyes, especially considering the age of the game.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
It's short by oldtimey standards (6-8 hours), but not really by modern ones, and features things like unlockables, zombie mode that don't cost money, arcade missions, coop play, splitscreen multiplayer, bot matches, reasons to play well, great voice acting, a no-nonsense plot, razor sharp commentary that never gets old, and is unburdened by censorship, DLC, political agendas, handholding, sprint buttons, cover systems, and most importantly of all, and this cannot be overstated...
