The action is reassuringly samey from start to end, and your path is set in stone. Yet, the overall experience is highly polished and big on drama.
-
There simply will not be enough variety in this package to keep many players interested. For others, the difficulty level will prove frustrating.

BoomtownIf all you want is a well-executed platform action game, with no innovations, you can have a really good time with Maximo vs. The Army of Zin, but otherwise steer clear. Youve seen it all before.

The game does keep up the original's compelling pace, with enemies swarming you nearly every step of the way. I never got bored - I just never got all that excited, either. [Feb 2004, p.112]

games(TM)A no-nonsense, honest-to-goodness platformer. It knows what it wants to do and presents things in a way that looks good and works well. But despite being sturdily put together and instantly enjoyable, it's hard not to think that it loses the impact it once held in the face of the latest batch of fresh and technologically impressive titles in the genre. [Feb 2004, p.106]

Ultimately, a sizeable portion of the game feels more like a 3D "Double Dragon" or "Final Fight" than it does "Ghosts n Goblins." Its solid gameplay in that vein, but its a misstep for this particular franchise.
