Steven Williamson, who writes for PSU.com and rated the game a 5.5/10, says "Meet the strict criteria for set-up and calibration and you might enjoy the novelty of seeing yourself kicking ass on screen, but you'll still have to battle with the controls just as much as you will against the bad guys."
