The game was praised for its beautiful visuals and graphics, fast and intense boss battles, and excellent controls. The game received positive reviews from game sites, though its short length, cluttered story, and voice acting have been widely criticized by several critics. It received a score of 7.5/9/8.5 from Electronic Gaming Monthly: the second reviewer called it "the best game I've played since Metroid Prime", but the first and third reviewers, while praising its gameplay as "breathtaking" and "consistently challenging", bemoaned its linearity, repetition and short duration.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“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.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“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)
