The most important aspect (orbital mechanics) is very accurately simulated - you will be blown away by how counter intuitively (but at the same time intuitively) orbits work - and most of the assumptions made about everything else are sound.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

Story mode is cheesy but fun and you can make your own campaigns and levels.
Difficulty

25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign is also a good challenge, and I feel it is just the right amount of difficulty.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
