 While "PC Zone" gave the game a "Classic" award, praising its inventive level design and engaging plot, most other publications did not have such a glowing view towards it.One common complaint was the long load times, which measured in the minutes between each level, death, or quickload.With later patches the long load times were greatly shortened, although compatibility with old save games was lost, forcing players to play through the game from the beginning or use cheats to progress to their previous point in the game.
