Matt Casamassina of "IGN" called the game a "must-buy" and complimented its blend of platforming and RPG styles, controls, and writing but was critical of the "ridiculous" amount of text and the "barren" appearance of the 3D segments. "GameTrailers" were also critical of the reliance on text but praised the story as well as the "robust" and "addictive" gameplay. Bryn Williams of "GameSpy" praised the "highly bizarre and amusing story line" as well as its level design and controls but said it was too easy and lacked in replay value. "GamesRadar+" reviewer Brett Elston praised the game for its graphics, dialogue, and controls but said that it started to "peter out close to the end".
