Reception

The game was criticized for being based on a candy product, and for being incredibly similar in gameplay to Crash Bandicoot in adventure mode. Its "Math Mode" was praised for having fun features, but not so much having problems as much as having math facts. It was also criticized for being too easy on higher difficulties. However, critics did praise the high-quality graphics and controls of the game. It's considered the best of the M&M's games.
