Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I love the story so far, the graphics appeal to me since I'm an old school gamer (think late 80s, early 90s) where gameplay is much more important than flashy graphics wanting 160 fps.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
What really got me was the free game on various flash sites and the playable demo which alone is around 7-10 hours depending on gameplay style.
