Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The best comparison I can make is to a B-movie: the budget's lower, the acting's spotty and the plot has glaring holes...yet you (and the director) still have fun laughing with and at it, if you go into it knowing what to expect.

If like me you don't like puzzle elements but love action, this kills the replayability of the game.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I’m a big fan of the nice, clean art and fluid animations, and the sound design is decent aside from the weapons which sound like ghosts of actual firearms themselves.

The visuals, controls, and music are great.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Ghost 1.0 is a shooter at heart, giving you loads of guns and jumps and dashes and lays them all out intelligently on the gamepad so you can flip and roll and blast away.
