Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It uses sound effects, story cues, and fading colors in a surprisingly moody way, and is a lot of fun to boot.
8 of 34 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
If I changed all my other reviews to positive, this game wouldn't suddenly change from text-only to having decent graphics, gameplay, nor will it suddenly become popular amongst gamers, if you recall, the peak player count was only 5 players who didn't stick around.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It uses sound effects, story cues, and fading colors in a surprisingly moody way, and is a lot of fun to boot.
5 of 34 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Now, the bad points: I do think it's a little too easy to kick the bucket sometimes-- it would be improved if there were less need for level memorization.
