The story is criticized for its repetitive and tedious missions, particularly in the early stages, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While some players find that the gameplay improves after the initial missions, the lack of variety and engaging content leads many to recommend skipping this title in favor of more compelling simulation games.
- “So darn tedious, and not in a fun intricate detail kind of way... but more of a 'oh my god, how many more times do I have to do the same thing?' I played the first two missions.”
- “Finally completed the mission after about a half hour of repetition.”
- “I need a break from this now; it definitely has its spot in the sim world, but at the same time, it needs a lot more variety. For right now, I'd say skip this one and grab a different sim.”

The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some users finding them mediocre and reminiscent of low-budget games from the late 1990s, while others consider them decent without any major complaints. The lack of a solid physics model further detracts from the overall visual experience.
- “Graphics are mediocre, the physics model is hilariously nonexistent, and the overall execution reminds me more of the $10 games you'd see at Target in the late 1990s than anything I'd expect to buy in 2017.”
