Alex Navarro of GameSpot gave the game 5/10, praising its amount of content for the low cost (400 Microsoft Points) and option to play multiplayer, but complained about "how shoddy everything feels, from the game options, to the presentation, to the online implementation."[2] David Craddock of IGN was similarly critical of the game, giving it 4.5/10 and calling out the game's lack of playable tutorials (especially for Mancala and Reversi) and the Xbox Live Vision camera support as being "tacked on."[3]
