38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall the multiplayer really does make up for the game's faults and the price is fair, only buy this game when you know friends are going to buy it as well.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One very interesting mechanic is that you can throw one of your shoes into a room to see if it triggers any traps, but when you're out of shoes, you never know which room may be your last.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
First thing is the graphics are pretty decent (I did experience a few frame drops but these weren't as big of a deal), from reflection of the floor to other things surrounding you.
