The gameplay of this title is criticized for being technically outdated and lacking depth, resulting in a repetitive experience that fails to meet modern standards. Despite its nostalgic value, many feel it does not compare favorably to older games like A3, which is still regarded as superior in terms of gameplay and enjoyment.
