The graphics of the game feature a trendy manga style, enhanced by an optional filter that adds a marker pen outline effect. However, while the concept is appealing, many users feel that the execution is lacking, with the filter detracting from the overall visual quality. Additionally, there are reports of graphical glitches, such as non-functioning taillights on cars.
“Trendy manga graphic.”
“Optional manga graphic filter.”
“This might be a glitch or my own graphics settings, but the cars' taillights don't seem to function when headlights are engaged.”
“Good concept, bad execution; this game could have some potential, but the graphics filter just makes the game look awful. Without it, the game looks not bad.”
“This game imitates Japanese manga with that special graphic style and music.”
