the four reviewers of "electronic gaming monthly" concurred that the jaguar version was the best home console version of the game to date, but still clearly inferior to the pc version. they especially criticized the use of the jaguar controller's number pad, saying it made the controls needlessly complicated. "gamepro" instead actually praised the use of the jaguar controller's many buttons, but also remarked that the jaguar version suffers from a hard-to-read display and sharp, erratic slowdown. a reviewer for "next generation" disagreed with both of them, saying that the jaguar version is "as close to the original title as is possible without the use of a mouse." they applauded the game in general for its detailed gore and "oppressive atmosphere."
