Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Such a huge shame since, graphics are beautiful and create a pleasing set of environments to traverse, and the music plays along to your movement too which is very enjoyable and oh so satisfying to play, although i felt when you get to extra mode it sounds too harmonic and loses the grittyness which i loved of the soundtrack.
