The graphics of the game are considered dated and basic, even at the time of its release, primarily due to its development in Flash and the prioritization of recorded audio over visual quality. Despite this, the humor remains a strong point, overshadowing the lackluster visuals.
“While this was never the most graphically beautiful game of its time, it was originally made in Flash.”
“The graphics are pretty basic, even back when it was released, but then again it had a lot of recorded audio that took up all the space, and that's the important part.”
“The questions and graphics may be dated, but the humor still holds up.”
