However, he criticized the slow cursor-based targeting system, stating that while it works in the RoboCop films "for dramatic effect", it "is downright dangerous in a game" with an abundance of enemy gunfire.

Marriott also criticized the repetitive music and noted RoboCop's slow movements as being realistic to the films but frustrating to play.
