    The graphics of the game are considered outdated, reminiscent of 2003 standards, and players have reported issues with launching the game, often needing to use a "safe" graphic memory mode with limited color depth to avoid DirectX errors. Despite these limitations, some players still find enjoyment in the gameplay.
