Tom Price of teamxbox
calls the game a "standard third-person action-adventure game" that "lacks all the charm of a Banjo-Kazooie
type of world." Price also noticed several game-bugs, stating "I can’t tell you how many times I fell through solid objects or had the game completely freeze up on me." Price scored the game a 2.5/10, accounting for its lowest rating.
The staff at Gamezone
scored the game a 5.5/10, saying "In bringing the game to the 360 [from the playstation 2
], Collision Studios added some pretty terrible new content, and not a small number of bugs and glitches." They also stated that "The moment-to-moment gameplay of Brave’s sequences are fairly fun (though bugs are far more frequent than they should be), but the beginning and ending Courage segments are frustrating, poorly designed, and ridiculously glitchy."
