IGN spotlighted the graphics and music, highlighting the intro, traps, weapons, and special moves, but claimed the experience was brought down by very long load times, confusing button configurations, and the amount of time it takes for a playable character to stand up once knocked down.^[7]

Critics frequently noted the multi-player mode to be more fun than single-player.^[7]^[2]
