The graphics of the game are generally praised for their vibrant and busy aesthetic, combining old-school arcade visuals with a unique identity, though some users note that the visuals can appear rough and dated, particularly with compression artifacts.

- “(Editing this slightly as of 12/26/21 because the original, World Ignition, is no longer available as of 12/23/21 - if you still have that game, I recommend waiting for a really good sale to pick this one up as even though you may get an additional discount, you're just paying for the same game again plus arrange mode and perhaps better graphics options if you have a compatible HD display.)”
