- “There was also something of an art style dissonance.”
- “There is an area with far superior textures and object models, while at the same time containing inconsistent collision that doesn't match up with the visuals.”
- “The simplistic graphics make it hard to navigate often, with many areas having that early 3D issue of, 'Was I just here?' in the back of your head.”
