- “Graphically it is a retro delight, which inevitably reminds of those classic eighties recreational machines, but at the same time full of light and color. However, there are so many elements on the screen, flashes, lights, etc., that you lose track of the cursor and don't know where to shoot, which can be frustrating.”
