The graphics of the game feature beautiful visuals that stand out, although they may not impress due to their origins as a 3DS title, with the HD upgrade resembling what could be achieved through emulation. Despite this, the PS2-era aesthetic offers a unique charm, making it visually appealing and functional for both large screens and portable play.

- “There is a unique charm to the PS2-era quality of the visuals, which is perfectly serviceable both on a big TV and in portable form.”
