Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The story isn't great but the actual gameplay of it is something that I enjoy a whole lot, and the missions all do a fantastic job at giving you new stuff to do and new things to challenge yourself with.
30 of 299 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
There's a good variety of missions and you can play in large group co-op if you can assemble enough buddies.
14 of 299 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Having said all that, the story is fun sci-fi camp with the expected level of vague story and silly voice acting.
