        Metacritic 45/100[20] 57/100[21]

        Reviews of the game were mixed. It currently has a score of 53% and 57 out of 100 for the Xbox version,[19][21] and 44% and 45 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version according to GameRankings and Metacritic.[18][20]

        AllGame gave the arcade version a score of three-and-a-half stars out of five and said it was "not an unpleasant arcade diversion, and it can be quite entertaining to compete against other players. The levels are clever and distinct, and only the patented Midway cheapness and simplicity will get in the way of your enjoyment."[22]
