Reception

The Dreamcast version received "generally unfavourable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.<ref name="MCDCdcOX"/> GameSpot described it as a second-rate House of the Dead clone.<ref name="GSpotDCdcOX"/> IGN cited a confusing storyline, poor visuals, and new gameplay mechanics which prevent the game from offering any sort of challenge.<ref name="IGNDCdcOX"/> Game Informer said that it "gives you plenty of targets, but no real reason to keep pulling the trigger."<ref name="GIDCdcOX"/> Eric Bratcher of NextGen called it "A typical gun game with typical gun game problems: It's too short, too redundant, and too similar to everything else out there. Only the NRA would lobby for this one."<ref name="NGenDCdcOX"/> In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 25 out of 40.<ref name="WFTDCdcOX"/>

Also in Japan, Game Machine listed the arcade version in their 1 January 2001 issue as the thirteenth most-popular dedicated arcade game of the year 2000.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
