Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
English clearly isn't the developer's native language, but its coherent enough. (really who plays a megamania type game for the plot anyway?)
24 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It provides a challenge without being devilishly difficult (+supports the player) and has a lot of great gameplay mechanics which vary among the stages (and a lot of clever level-design ideas too).

Graphics

The graphics were colorful and the music not terrible. so it was a pleasant ride.
