Reception
The Dreamcast version was singled out for particular praise among reviewers, with GameSpot awarding the game 9.6/10, IGN 9.4/10 and GameSpy 9/10. The PC and PlayStation versions, which were identical to each other in their format and presentation, received less praise. The PlayStation 2 version, a port of the Dreamcast game, also received less praise due to lower quality textures, lack of progressive scan, and jaggies, which were a problem in many early PlayStation 2 titles.
