The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[17][18] The graphics, gameplay, story, menu systems, and level design were criticized. Nicky Woolf of The Guardian likened the level design of the Xbox version to "a four-year-old with only three different crayon colours" and labeled the quick-time event combat style therein as "annoying".[16] Ben Reeves of Game Informer called the PS3 version a "frustrating action game with little depth".[6] Dan Whitehead of Eurogamer described the combat as "relentless" but the game as a whole "barely succeeds on its own terms."[5] IGN's Anthony Gallegos called the graphics "ugly as sin".[11]
