 A second "Mean Machines" reviewer, Matt Regan, anticipated the game would be a bestseller in the United Kingdom, and echoed Rignall's praise, calling it a "truly brilliant game".Regan further stated that the game offered elements which tested the player's "brains and reflexes", and that though the graphics were simple, they were "incredibly varied".In a preview of the game, "Nintendo Power" gave it high marks in graphics, audio, challenge, gameplay, and enjoyability.
