Reception

The game received mixed reviews for Wii. On the review aggregator Metacritic, the Wii version of the game received a score of 57,[2] while the DS version received generally favorable reviews, receiving a score of 73.[3]

Media website Cinema Blend ran a negative review by Andy Keener, who labeled the game "boring and tiresome". He also stated, "Your characters never get better, but the enemies get stronger. The levels never feature anything of note; they could be blank white rooms with no doors and the gameplay would be exactly the same."[4]
