    The story in the game is straightforward, primarily revolving around completing missions that often involve destruction or retrieval tasks, such as searching for a downed president.

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is noted as one of its better aspects, featuring a limited selection that, while varied, ultimately feels forgettable and poorly suited to the gameplay.

    • “And yes, it's one of the better moments in the game, while you listen to the better music out of a very small selection that the game has.”
