Reception
The game received mixed reviews, with Game Rankings listing an average score of 68% from 72 reviews, and a Metacritic score of 68 from 50 reviews.
Both IGN and GameSpot praised the production values and cinematic approach of the game, but were disappointed in the simple gameplay mechanics, cheap bosses and short completion time. Eurogamer called the gameplay "unbalanced and frustrating", and the fighting "dreadfully limited". In contrast to the general praise of the presentation, GameSpy thought the "cutscenes are completely uninvolving, with bored-sounding voice acting". LazyTechGuys said the game will "test your patience to its limits."
However, GamePro gave the game a score of 5/5, calling the game, and the analog-based control scheme in particular, "innovative and fun".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
