What the critics said
Matt Casamassina of IGN wrote that the game's graphics were "highly detailed and varied."
— IGN (Matt Casamassina)
GamePro's The Freshman wrote in one review, "The fairly-simple models don't move as well as they look," and noted "the various moves and attacks suffer from a bit of jerkiness."
— GamePro
They noted the game's "fairly good four-player beat-em-up", but described each character's special moves as "awkward and slow to use".
— GamePro, 1999
Scott Alan Marriott of AllGame wrote, "The most compelling aspects of the game are its graphics, tight control and ability to support up to four players at once, with the latter feature almost worth the price of admission alone."
— AllGame (Scott Alan Marriott)
