Next Generation gave the game one star out of five, criticizing gameplay and the special moves, who called them simple to execute, but in essence boring through the game.[6] In contrast, Nick Rox of GameFan was highly positive to the game.[9] Spanish magazine GamesTech commended its animated cutscenes and visuals.[10]
