Gameplay: The game tries to do many of the things differently than usual - and mostly succeeds, even though learning the game is pretty difficult because of the lack of a proper tutorial - i had to watch youtube videos for that (Thank you, Night Phoenix, very helpful videos and nice gameplay).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

as I have criticised this game, but today I have finished the Japanese campaign. therefore, although I still have many bad points, this game was fun and with a lot of improvements in UI, graphics, automatic map changes in Australia and Caribian islands, which was very very annoying especially the last part, the future games will be much better and enjoyable.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
27 of 232 sampled reviews raised it
Ignore those complaining about the cut scenes, it's telling a story and it does that well enough.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 232 sampled reviews raised it
The models are meticulously crafted and detailed, the animations of the ships during the movement and combat really shows the developer’s love for the different kinds of ships.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
8 of 232 sampled reviews raised it
I watched as the Developers fixed bugs others complained about and in November alone there have been several updates, this is what finally convinced me to give it a shot ... well that and finding out how much I didn't like BA2. ;) It was worth the wait that's for sure.
