The game's story mode shows potential and has some intriguing elements, but it is currently underdeveloped and plagued by bugs and performance issues. Players express hope for future improvements and expansions, as the foundation for a compelling narrative exists, but the game's current state hampers its execution. Overall, while the fighting mechanics are enjoyable, the story aspect needs significant refinement and completion.
“The story mode could be great.”
“It even has a story mode and some surprises.”
“They're also working on a story mode which right now is pretty good and it's not even finished.”
“Supposedly there will eventually be a story, but seeing as how the game is completely broken and barely even works as is, that's probably not happening anytime soon.”
“There were lots of bugs with quests just not working at times.”
“Very fun to fight in and the guns need some work though, and more content please like new maps and full story mode expansion but the physics and fighting feel very nice.”

Despite these shortcomings, some users found the gameplay enjoyable, likening it to a fun, albeit rough, experience reminiscent of a drunken bar fight.
“Goldeneye graphics.”
“Though the graphics are frankly below par for the modern age of virtual reality, it served to be a grim reminder of the natural curse inflicted upon the race of man, the call to violence present within our souls for millennia.”
“No graphics settings??”
“I was pleasantly surprised by the price and graphics, but after playing, I'd pay up to $20 and the PS2 graphics fit completely.”
