Reception
The game was generally well received by the public for its additions of new characters, campaigns, and other features, but game critics criticized the game for extreme difficulty, lack of new audio, and not having graphical quality up to par for a game released in 2008. GameSpot gave the game a 3.5 out of 10,[3] and 1UP gave it a D-.
