The graphics are praised for their depth and realism, despite being retro in style, appealing to those who appreciate classic aesthetics. However, players seeking modern visuals or quick, visually appealing gameplay may find the graphics disappointing. There is a desire among some users for a remake that utilizes contemporary technology and includes online multiplayer features.
