Reception
The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN called the game "ridiculously hard, but once you get into it, it's ridiculously fun". GameSpot said that it was a fun game, but it lacked variety. Chris Charla of NextGen said that the game was "too limited to earn another star, but it is unquestionably addictive as hell."
