The graphics of the game are widely criticized as poor and outdated, resembling titles from the late '90s rather than a 2011 release. Despite this, some players appreciate the nostalgic, old-school feel it brings, finding enjoyment in the gameplay despite the visual shortcomings. Overall, while the graphics may deter some, fans of the sport may still find value in the game as a unique offering.
“Despite looking like a game that was released in '99 with updated graphics, therefore not comparable with any other sports title released at the time (or for the last ten years), it's actually a very good game.”
“The graphics are dated, but for the only handball game out there, it is a great buy for the sport lover.”
“I was really skeptical at first, mostly because of the graphics and mechanics, but after looking past the fact that it was released in 2011 and not 2001, I couldn't stop playing it.”
