Players must guide the character through 17 unique stages whilst battling alien, mutant, and mechanical enemies.

The primary focus is the rescuing of hostages and occasionally obtaining an item such as a key card, defusing or planting bombs, or completing an objective under a time limit.

Players are encouraged to "transfer" or transform into one of nine unique types of robots encountered throughout the stages, each with their own distinct appearance, weapons, and abilities.

"[13] Glenn Rubenstein wrote in GameSpot that while the game is reasonably fun, "most die-hard fans will be a lot happier dusting off their copy of the original Loaded".

[16] Most reviews commented that the graphics are more detailed and feature more impressive effects than Loaded,[7][11][16] though Rubenstein added that they were still not good enough to stand out amongst contemporary PlayStation games.
