Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Yeah, you're still stuck in 640 x 480 mode, and will be stuck with a stuttering 20fps if you select to play the game at it's original hardware speed. (so that modern framerates don't break the enemy AI or physics since \they're hardcoded to frametick), but at least you can actually play the game you pay for here with the patch.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
If all the technical innovation isn't enough, the art style is a blend of Art Nouveau and Art Deco that feels like La Belle Epoque meets The Great Gatsby, which was novel then, and still a rare sight now.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is probably my favorite aspect of the game (besides the shooty, shooty, bang, bang of course) as most of the tracks are tense or creepy while some others feel like party music an fit the different areas.
