The story is considered exciting for its time but may not hold up to modern standards, with some reviewers noting it relies on clichés. While the gameplay remains engaging and features multiple characters, technical issues on PC hinder the overall experience, affecting story progression. Despite its flaws, there are moments that provide entertainment and humor.
“The gameplay is generic good, the soundtrack is kinda forgettable but gets the job done, and the story is, even though intended to be a huge cliché, it still did it okay (some moments made me chuckle).”
“It's been a long time since I played this game; the last time was in 2009 on the PlayStation 2. I think the story is quite exciting for its time when it was released, but for today's standards, I don't think it's good enough. Overall, the gameplay is long, and this game provides four different characters that can be played, each with a different task.”
“The gameplay stays fresh throughout, and the final missions are packed with fun, exciting set pieces that truly bring it all together.”
“However, I cannot recommend getting it on PC since it's poorly optimized and buggy, to the point where you won't progress the story without the help of third-party software.”

The gameplay is described as a mix of freshness and monotony, featuring exciting final missions and diverse character tasks, but also suffering from basic mechanics that can lead to boredom. While some players appreciate the fun and engaging elements, others find the overall experience generic and lacking in depth, despite the nostalgic value and improvements on different platforms.

“The gameplay is long and this game provides 4 different characters that can be played, each with a different task.”
“I was worried as the gameplay was super fun with the Wii controllers, but I have found it even more fun with keyboard and mouse on the PC.”
“Most of the gameplay is very basic indeed.”
“But these redeeming qualities are drowned out by the monotonous gameplay that the game is plagued with; everything about this game had depressingly bored me out of my skull, and the only reason I kept going was because I wanted to see what would happen at the end.”
