Gaming Age writes: "If you have fond memories of the Dreamcast game, then rest assured you'll be getting the same quality out of this port. It's definitely worth revisiting, especially with some high-def flair attached to it, and it looks great even today. The game play carries over well to a basic controller set-up, but it doesn't really hold a candle to the twin stick style, so keep in mind that if you owned that set-up you might not enjoy the transition as much. Thankfully the online play works extremely well, and definitely puts some legs on the title, making it worth picking up again. For newcomers, it'll be easy to get frustrated with the controls, but give it a little time and patience and I'm sure you'll come around. Definitely worth checking out, and I suggest everyone pick this one up".
D+PAD Writes:
For a student constantly on the lookout for cheap games to play and not really wanting to buy full-priced new releases, second-hand shops and Xbox Live Arcade seemed the perfect solution. Some purchases were really not worth playing, but there were some real gems that turned up from time to time – some of which were clearly at their best when played multiplayer, but had nobody online because perhaps they had not been critical successes, or had been out so long everyone had lost interest. So it’s time to fight the fight for these obscure games – and if people can get them and play them, it can only be a good thing!
