Reception

Edge gave the PC version nine out of ten, calling it a sweeping success that is challenging, deep, atmospheric, and intense, despite clunky controls and graphical anomalies. Stephen Redwood of AllGame gave the same version three-and-a-half stars out of five, describing it as boxed potential rather than results.
Kevin 'BIFF' Giacobbi of GameZone gave the Gold Edition seven out of ten, citing potential but noting the need for patches and unresolved multiplayer issues. The PC version was a commercial success, with 350,000 units sold globally by May 2000 and over 1 million copies by 2007. It was particularly popular in the UK.
