Further notes

The game received positive reviews from critics and has sold 1.25 million copies worldwide.[10] However, it was not free from criticism. Mark MacDonald of 1UP.com criticized the game for becoming a cliché of predictability with puzzles involving pushing crates and a self-destruct countdown during the final boss fight, as well as a "lame" backstory. Despite this, the game's backgrounds team was praised, along with the item-dropping feature, earning a "B+" ranking.[1]

Giancarlo Varanini of GameSpot discussed the player-zapping feature at length, pointing out its success in strategy and puzzle-solving. However, he felt that the mechanic didn't feel very innovative or interesting, with most of its uses being puzzle-related, such as keeping one character still or sending items up a dumbwaiter to the other. Varanini also criticized the game's puzzle-planning, noting similarities to previous titles.[6]
