"FHM" gave the PS2 version a score of four stars out of five and called it "Manic, frenzied and violent gaming at its gripping best." "The Cincinnati Enquirer" also gave the same version four stars out of five and stated that "This new 'bad boy' of the video game industry is extremely fun to play — for those old enough and mature enough to purchase it — as a campy stress releaser at the end of a bad day." However, "Maxim" gave the same version a score of six out of ten and said, "Such virtual destruction may once have seemed innocent, but these days the whole thing hits a little close to home." "Entertainment Weekly" gave said version a C, saying, "Four levels are too few to stay interesting for all 175-plus missions, which are too bloody repetitive." "The Village Voice" gave the Xbox version a similar score of five out of ten and said, "In 'Revolution' mode—a series of nearly identical, frustrating mini-missions—the jackbooted thugs, now armed with pistols, make life much tougher. (Deeply flawed camera views don't help.) What's the point if you can't steal your family some diapers?"
