- “Honestly, playing the game more makes me want to drop the rating more because it's even worse. By trying to add more 'gameplay' to the game, it actually does the complete opposite because it makes you do the same thing more and more, and doing the same boring task is not fun.”
- “Gameplay is not as polished as it should be; slow and sometimes tedious.”
- “A game that shows age with somewhat under average graphics and soundtrack, solid story, controls that take getting used to, and slow gameplay at times.”
- “However, gameplay is just boring.”
- “Honestly, playing the game more makes me want to drop the rating further because it's even worse. By trying to add more 'gameplay' to the game, it actually does the complete opposite, making you do the same boring task over and over, which is not fun.”

The game's story is generally well-received, featuring a straightforward narrative about a young boy's quest to earn money, which is easy to follow and engaging despite some tedious gameplay elements. While the storytelling is solid, the overall presentation, including graphics and soundtrack, feels dated.

- “I liked the way they told the story - easy, cheesy, no need for translation, too.”
- “Even with this speed upgrade, the game is still so tedious and boring. After finishing the first non-tutorial mission, I was greeted with a new piece of gear, another piece of cleaning equipment that operates the same exact way: circle the car until it's done.”
- “As was mentioned earlier, the story revolves around a young boy determined to earn money.”
- “A game that shows its age with somewhat under-average graphics and soundtrack, solid story, controls that take getting used to, and slow gameplay at times.”
