Reception
Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "control is the key to realism, and here, a positive can also be a negative, depending on the proficiency of the gamer. For neophytes and casual players, such a complex control scheme may seem more like work than fun. Skilled players, however, will rise to the challenge and welcome the flexibility."[2]
