The game was met with positive reception upon release, carrying a rating of 75.51% on GameRankings.[1] The game has been praised for its realistic graphics and fun gameplay, but criticized for its high difficulty level.[9] Midway's influence has been met with mixed reactions, with claims that the game suffers from an "identity crisis" due to elements of the Thunder series being implemented toward the end of the development process.[9]
