32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls are intuitive, the graphics are still decent, the AI is smart enough to properly function without having to pay extra special care to strange or weird behavior and the game runs just fine on newer operating systems such as Windows 10 and 7 OS (baring Windows 8).
