The game received a score of 63/100 at Metacritic indicating "mixed or average reviews".[2] Although Nintendo Life praised the presentation and controls, they otherwise felt that as a whole the game was shallow and repetitive.[4] IGN called the story mode of the game "heartwarming and unique", but also noted the repetitive nature of the game.[3] Wiiloveit.com thought much of the game, but the hefty price tag really got in the way of being able to recommend it strongly.[5]
