The graphics were considered some of the best on the Nintendo 64 due to their rich textures, long drawing distance, and real-time shadow generation, but were criticised for their inconsistent frame rate during certain points in the game. Nevertheless, some critics agreed that the occasional frame rate drops do not hinder the gameplay nor detract players from the game significantly. "GameRevolution" said that the game was "beautiful", but it did not meet the same level of awe as its predecessor. The game was also praised for its humour, with "Edge" commenting that its characters are "impossible to dislike."
