The music aspect of the game has received significant criticism due to the absence of the soundtrack, which is tied to a CD that many players no longer have access to in 2024. Users have noted that the game lacks proper implementation of the music, possibly due to licensing issues, despite references to the music label within the game. Overall, players recommend seeking a physical copy to experience the game as intended with its original soundtrack.
- “My only complaint is that they seem to have not implemented the music for the game, possibly due to licensing issues (though the music label still appears on billboards in game and the music track selector still has the names of the songs).”
- “Growing up, I know that the game wouldn't play the music unless you had the CD in the drive, but you could still play the game without the music if you didn't have the disc.”
- “The game also isn't patched to include the soundtrack; it expects you to have the music on a CD, but who still has an optical drive in 2024?”
- “My only complaint is that they seem to have not implemented the music for the game, possibly due to licensing issues (though the music label still appears on billboards in-game and the music track selector still has the names of the songs).”
- “If you want, go ahead and buy this version, but if you can find a copy on disc, get that too so you can experience the game with the music as originally intended by the original developers.”
