Story

40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has a pretty unique personality with a sour and chaotic sense of humor, creative level design, and an entertaining but unserious story.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It doesn’t add any new content, although the improvements in these areas are noticeable and the gameplay now feels smoother and more polished.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I absolutely love this game’s music, the soundtrack is very energetic and playful with many cool tracks that perfectly match the game’s chaotic and cartoonish world.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every part of the game — the visuals, the sound, the pacing — kind of blends into this feeling that you’re actually inside its world, even if you’re just casually playing.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When the servers were still up the online PVP modes were also extremely fun!
