[edit] Reception

Wild Metal Country was received poorly by critics. GameSpot concluded that "this game had plenty of potential, but it turned out to be a boring shooter so frustrating that it's hardly worth a rental".[3] GameSpy felt that "Without the Internet support, though, this is a weak effort all around".[4] IGN gave one of the few praising reviews saying "On the whole, Wild Metal is a very fun and rewarding experience".[5]
