Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
That covers both gameplay, handling, and the important subject of visuals.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
It's multiplayer so you and your friends can do a few "moonwalk" jobs, drive a lunar rover, fix the life support system, however you cannot fire photon torpedoes or set your deflectors double front, so I was immeasurably disappointed.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
If the game had some better graphics and sound design would be really better.
