Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
After 26 hours of gameplay, I had to write a review for this game, as it's the definition of a game where the core gameplay loop is very enjoyable, but the rest of the game and subsystems design is almost all bad.
20 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It has a cute anime art style that is too detailed for 4th-gen (16-bit) but too simple for 5th-gen.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Audio feedback is solid and got a nice soundtrack which never gets old (at least for me).
