Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even factoring in the release date of the game, I think the game (gameplay) looks pretty good; better than I was expecting given its age.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Campaign can be quite the challenge on higher difficulty, and the missions at times poses a decent challenge for those that play the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Graphics: I'm gonna give this a 6/10 because of it's age, still is playable
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You have to look past the horrendously plastic looking characters in the otherwise still-bad videos, and underneath you'll actually find some really fun, challenging, varied warfare -- from piloting planes in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat, from single small PT boats to destroyers with artillery and anti-aircraft flak, to commanding entire fleets!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I ramped the difficulty up from normal to hard and it is the perfect balance of fun and challenge, but I wouldn't play on hard until you learn the game fairly well.
