Can anyone who's played it tell me if it's actually any good, or is its bad reputation justified?)

It actually isn't as bad as people say it is. I won't lie to you and say it's without its flaws, it's got quite a few problems but I really found myself enjoying this game none the less. One thing that's neat is the story has really advanced.
There are much more talkative cut scenes and characters to check out, and even though I miss Fox's comically action tough voice actor from "Adventures" everyone else in here did a pretty good job. Krystal sounds especially lovely.
The tank and plane levels feel like old school star fox, it's not insanely difficult and also you'll fight some WEIRD ass bosses in this game. Now for the bad. The biggest innovation to this game is the ability to hop in and out of vehicles.
The "on foot" mode has kind of clunky movements with aiming and walking sideways. It can be frustrating getting your guy to shoot where you want on foot, also there's a rather limited selection of guns. Not enough of an arsenal so you find yourself using the same guns alot.
But really, I don't think the game is as piss poor as people say it is. It's not great but I found alot of enjoyment out of the story mode and there's alot of new levels to explore.
EDIT
I totally agree with Luigi's mansion, I had such a BLAST with that game. I don't care if people said it was too short, I really enjoyed it and found it to be lots of fun.
The vast assortment of ghosts and checking out the cool creepy rooms with different surprises ^_^ lots of fun. I especially loved the whole "suction life" idea, like how you drain a ghost till his life % goes to zero.
It's just such an amusing concept, one that I never got tired of.
