Keeping both the tone and character of the book could have been heavy handed or confusing but delightfully neither is the case and this game of exploration, spiritual questing and intrigue recreates Kipling's story in an accurate, fun and accessible format.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
Otherwise Kim is a nice story of a kid, who explores India and is exposed to the life of a child grown up among locals to a young man, who discovers the life as a "sahib".
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Hadn't read Kim in years and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the book came back to me and how faithful this new medium is to the original, with great graphics and an interface that really gives you a feel for the period.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
Wonderful atmosphere - the soundtrack and art style really give the feeling of India at the end of the Raj.
