The game received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[1] Six months after the game was released, Next Generation said in its review, "For neophytes and casual gamers, such a complex control scheme may seem more like work than fun. Skilled players, however, will rise to the challenge and welcome the flexibility."[9]
