the saturn version was also well-received, as critics agreed that despite the half a year that had passed since the game's release on playstation, it still held up well. "sega saturn magazine" and "saturn power" both deemed it the first truly outstanding platform game for the saturn. "gamepro" said that "it breaks little new ground beyond the cool perspectives, but the gameplay's meaty enough to hold your interest." sushi-x of "electronic gaming monthly" said it "is a step above its playstation sibling", citing tighter controls. however, his co-reviewer shawn smith and "gamepro" both felt the playstation version was better, due to the port's slight decrease in graphical quality, though critics unanimously agreed that crystal dynamics had done an overall exemplary job of optimizing the game for the saturn.
