What the critics said
Although Edge praised the game's speed of play, well-defined arenas and varied weapons, the magazine described the single-player aspect as "little more than a limited training ground for the multiplayer version", thus questioning whether its price was actually justified.
— Edge, 1999
GameSpot said similar cons and noted that the game's artificial intelligence "can't stand up to any steady-handed human player".
