Critical Reception
The Reckoning received relatively positive critical acclaim, with the Xbox version averaging 80% and the Gamecube version averaging 72%. Gamespot gave the game an 8 out of 10, and said "Hunter succeeds in delivering a very fun though short gaming experience, whether you're playing alone or with up to three friends." Edge awarded the game only a 4 out of 10 in issue 113. Criticisms included the muddled combat system – allowing for pleasurable ranged combat using both analogue sticks but frustrating with melee weapons – dull boss battles and overpopulated multiplayer mode. Comparisons were drawn with the crowd-control fighting of Gauntlet.
