"PALGN"s Kalogeropoulos felt that the casual nature of the game's historical missions fit well with the overall content. Todd of "GameSpot" described the missions as "formulaic" but entertaining, preferring the campaign missions over the empty online mode. Neuls of "Ars Technica" criticized the game's story and historical accuracy, describing it as the "Cliff Notes version" of the battle. "IGN"s Onyett described the game's action as "so undemanding that it gets boring within about 10 minutes", particularly criticizing the repetition of the missions.
