What the critics said

  • Electronic Gaming Monthly's five reviewers said the game has "plenty of action" but "really doesn't stand out and is too little too late for a dated system".

    — Electronic Gaming Monthly, 1994

  • GamePro's Manny LaMancha gave the NES version a generally positive review, saying that the graphics and controls, while below average compared to its contemporaries, are an improvement over the first game, and concluded that "this playful sequel does the hardware proud".
