I saw it briefly on a friend's computer. The sound effects are absurd (they can be turned off) the effects are well over the top (flipping menus that rotate when activated).
I didn't see much of the software nor emulators because my friend was using it in class but it felt very half assed yet over done in the effects department.
I'd reach for Debian before this in a heartbeat.
Littlewhite, usually when you just get a console at startup it means that your graphics card is not suppored directly. You may have to download drivers for it and those drivers may or may not exist. If you need to check your hardware you may try the following command
First, make sure you have "lspci" and "more" installed.
sudo apt-get install lspci more
Then run this command and you can scroll through your hardware to find exact data
lspci|more
Now that you have your GPU, it might be a good idea to go to the manufactuers website to see if they offer Linux drivers for either Ubuntu or Debian (both will have a .deb extension)
Navigate to the directory the downloaded driver is in, upzip the file if need be then execute
sudo dpkg -i package_here.deb
If the manufacturer does not support your card directly there might be an unofficial driver you can use.
You've found the greatest weakness of Linux as a desktop, some hardware lacks drivers until somebody mucks one together.
