GBC version scored same as the PS version with a 7.0 (Good).[10]

Doug Trueman reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for Next Generation, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "This would have been a terrific title several years ago, but now it looks and sounds incredibly dated."[2]
