The music in the game consists of a single song on an endless loop, which some players found relaxing for a brief period. However, the repetitive nature of the soundtrack, combined with the harsh "bad stuff happening" music cues, detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, the local co-op setup means players are constantly aware of each other's actions, which can add to the tension created by the music.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“The music is just a single song on an endless loop, and the 'bad stuff happening' music sting the AI can be absolutely brutal.”
“Random events seem to exist to squeeze your money from you due to the odds of them going well being extremely low, and the music does not help the experience.”
“The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it feel monotonous and uninspired.”

The game's replayability is significantly hindered by a poorly explained ranking system and the absence of online play, limiting enjoyment primarily to human opponents. This lack of features, which may have been acceptable in the past, detracts from the overall experience in today's gaming landscape.
