It was published by Crave Entertainment in North America and Genki in Japan.

One of the Xbox's earliest exclusive titles, the game received negative reviews.

It features a single attack button and a "performance meter" that tracks how well players are engaging the crowd (earning more money in Tour Mode).

Complaints were directed towards a lack of variety between characters and environments, dreadful graphics, a very limited move set, and only utilizing one button for attacks.

[4] Andy McNamara of Game Informer heavily panned the gameplay, difficulty, graphics, and AI, noting that the opponents were easy to beat,[7] a sentiment in which NextGen also agreed.
