Reception
IGN rated the XBLA version '7.0' (Decent), commenting on the short length of the game, "spotty" online play and poor value for money, but praising the graphical overhaul. Anthony Gallegos of 1UP rated the game 'B+', and stated that while the game was short, this added to its 'arcade' appeal. As of year-end 2010, the game has sold over 111,000 units. Sales at year-end 2011 were over 119,000 units.
