The characters, main story and comically absurd side missions are great. Exploring the entertainment district, collecting things and trying out the mini games is fun too. Graphics are not impressive from a purely technical standpoint but they do an excellent job of conveying those japanese entertainment district vibes.

What's not so great about the game is combat, especially during boss fight which turn into a slogfest. That car chase shooting section is also terribad made even worse by the bad checkpoint placement. If you rage quit during that sequence you have to redo the whole section with boss fight before it.

If you get annoyed by the combat maybe just turn the difficulty down to easy and enjoy the game for the story.
