When not talking, you will enjoy some quick time events that make for majority of action in New Frontier- mash those keys shown on screen or die trying (in-game), resulting in going back to previous, usually very nearby checkpoint.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Still keeping the comic-like artstyle from previous entries but with sharper, more detailed textures and animations!
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Confused over direction it wanted to go, A New Frontier blends two ideas into a single mediocre one, even with engine improvements and solid roster of characters.
