Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
103 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music is cool and fits the setting once you get a rhythm going for yourself - i.e. get a hang of the gameplay loop and feel comfortable with it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And none of this works at all well for a top down view... almost no games use that since the advent of 3D graphics provides far better immersion for serious game developers.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack in particular is also excellent for a game like this.
