Good Bad
  • Controls are consistent
  • Three difficulty levels
  • Graphics have a pre-rendered 3D model look which lacks character
  • The events are incredibly dull
  • Six long splash screens that cannot be skipped before you can start the game
  • Boring main menu
  • Uninspiring presentation
  • Background music feels out of place
  • Sound menu mislabeled as Music Options

4 Bland and painfully generic presentation and gameplay. The events are just boring and there's nothing unique about it other than the pre-rendered graphics. It is easily forgotten.
