The music in the game has drawn criticism for allegedly borrowing a riff from Fort Minor's "Believe Me," which some players feel detracts from the overall experience. This issue seems to be a significant point of contention among reviewers.
“The only issue I have with this game is how they stole the riff from Fort Minor's 'Believe Me' for the music.”
