  1. While Utopia City does have some unique qualities in the form of rewarding artefacts and its energy based gameplay mechanic, other areas only make it adequate for budget line expectations and out of reach for anything beyond that.

    Perhaps the dev team just asked the pizza delivery boy to do the job to save some pennies for the sequel. [Aug 2006, p.95]

    There's so much wrong here, from the Matrix rip-off storyline and painful attempts at imitating "Deus Ex," to the lack of textures and dull levels. [July 2006, p.102]

    The in-game text, when comprehensible, looks like a toddler wrote it, the sounds don't match up to the visible actions and the voiceovers are awful, disjointed and mediocre. [Aug 2006, p.84]
  5. It’s hard to think of anything since the turn of the millennia that looks this bad. Not only are the textures bland and hazy but several levels suffer from what can only be described as "big room syndrome." Large hallways and walls will be monochromatic and feature single furnishings like a lamp, door or sign.

    I have bought it for few cents, and I think that was good choice. Graphics are good, but they might be better, at least shading and I have bought it for few cents, and I think that was good choice. Graphics are good, but they might be better, at least shading and lightning. Optimilisation isn't good enough, but I have had a really great time though. The game gets better as you go further and further (the "outer city" was some kind of masterpiece with speed artifact). Finally - graphics are not important, if gameplay is good and not repetetive.
