The game received mixed reviews from critics and suffered from poor sales. Common criticisms included poor interface, poor controls, lack of variety, and steep difficulty and learning curves. Praise included innovative gameplay, excellent joystick support and the introductory video with music by Mark Snow.
In spite of its mediocre reception from consumers and press alike, as of 2012 the game retains an active fan community that releases game modifications and other content.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“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.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“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)
“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)
