  • 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

4Bland 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.
