Reception
The game was rated 7.1 by Jeff Gerstmann from GameSpot, but reviewer noted the game lacks polish from start to finish, with much higher system requirements than advertise to achieve decent frame rate, and even then slow down is noticeable when increasing resolution. Audio effects were labeled generic, while music sounded like they were ripped out of the Amiga demo scene.
1UP staff rated the game D+ for lacking real story in story mode, overdone music, average graphics, small range of moves, button-mashing style fighting, great speed penalty for multiplayer.
IGN staff Dan Adams rated the game 6.7 for low quality animation, mediocre sound effects, problematic game play, large variety of game modes, and lack of online players.

“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“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)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
