- “Each time a little more of the story is read out to you by some Eastern European narrator who's obviously pretty new to English (and so too were the writers).”

- “Poor controls, poor story, dreadful coding.”

The music in the game is one of the few customizable settings available, but it is overshadowed by the game's poor graphics, suggesting that while it may have some merit, it does not significantly enhance the overall experience.
