The touchscreen controls received a mixed response. "Eurogamer"s Dan Whitehead appreciated the driving mechanics, but felt that moving on-foot is "a flaky way of navigating" the world, and criticised the "clumsy" shooting mechanics as most of the guns cannot be manually targeted. "IGN"s Eykemans felt that the controls "make half the experience frustrating", and "Destructoid"s Sterling described them as "by far the biggest barrier toward enjoying" the port. Brown of "Pocket Gamer" found that the touchscreen "hasn't hindered game too drastically", commending simple movement and "effortless" driving mechanics. Some critics identified better controls upon the use of external gamepads, but felt that they hinder the game's portability.
