Story

74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As with all such adventure games, the dialogue can get repetitive at times, but there is a good amount of goofy humour and good storytelling to keep the interest going.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Consequently, the game has totally different art style from its predecessors, with cartoony-looking characters and very strong colors.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is frankly superb and I love how much personality the voice actors add to the characters.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's an incredibly intuitive interface that was also used for similar games of the time period like The Longest Journey (another one of my all-time favourites) and Day Of The Tentacle.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

What I love the most about CMI is the meticulate attention to detail the designers obviously have and how game mechanics are woven into the game's world so well that most of the time you don't even notice it.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game also has 2 difficulty settings, a rarity in adventure games, and whilst the harder one is most definitely the most satisfying and fun for me, having the easier one is a great option for newcomers.
