Reception
Extreme Paintbrawl had an extremely poor reception and is widely considered one of the worst video games ever made. In addition to its outdated Build engine graphics, it shipped with abysmal AI which often performed bizarre behaviors, such as running towards the nearest wall and appearing to do the moonwalk. Enemies also have seemingly perfect aim, because nearly every shot fired in the player's direction scores a hit. Also, although the game only installs and launches under Windows 95 and higher, the actual game is a DOS program. This often caused compatibility problems, especially with newer computers.
GameSpot gave the game a 1.7 / 10. IGN gave it a 0.7 / 10; it is the second game in the website's history to receive a score lower than one (the first is Olympic Hockey Nagano '98, which earned a 0.0). PC Gamer gave it a 6 / 100.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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.”
