Reception

edit

The game received mixed reviews. IGN gave the Game Boy Advance version of the game a negative review, rating it 2.2 out of 10. IGN criticized the gameplay stating "The Artificial intelligence (AI) provides no challenge, the controls provide no depth, and the gameplay provides no fun" and the sound by saying it was "eerily silent".[4]

The game would go on to be Rage Software's most successful boxed release in the UK.[5]
