Reception
Next Generation reviewed the Saturn version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "in the end, if you simply can't get enough of side-scrolling action games, then you can count on this being one of the best". IGN rated the PlayStation version 5/10, saying, "The game looks great... The control is well balanced and executed... Unfortunately, the very nature of the game ensures that it grows tedious real fast."
