as linear as possible but with some pretty decent points on that line
graphics: mediocre but they get the job done. however the monotony of some of the dungeons can get you turned around
sound: dull tunes but varied. only get on your nerves if you take too long in the town or dungeon.
value: worth $5 at most by now. won't even care that you spent it because it is only $5
tilt: i enjoyed it while i was young becuase i got really good at it even though it was hard
