GamePro

Surprisingly solid and fun.

Planet Dreamcast

You get amazing graphics, good gaming music, and some arcade style gameplay that is fun for the casual gamer, but might leave feature-loving gamers looking for more.

IGN

What prevents the game from getting an above average score are a small collection of annoying gameplay flaws, some persistent camera angle problems, and a lack of longevity.

Gaming Age

At the end of the day it's all about fun, and Heavy Metal serves it up in spades.

Electric Playground

Without any satisfyingly complex battles, lacking any sort of an interesting story line, and plagued by camera angles that will drive you batty; playing Heavy Metal: Geomatrix is like paying sixty bucks to see Megadeth, and discovering you must sit through a set by Britney Spears.

GameShark

Shame on Capcom for giving it's fighting games a bad track record by putting out this piece of crap!

Game Revolution

Sort of like a dumbed-down "Powerstone," but with fewer weapons. Honestly, this game does nothing new at all. And what it does do, we've seen done better in games.

Core Magazine

Presentation, however, cannot makeup for poor gameplay, something that Heavy Metal has in abundance.

GameSpot

Simply an uninteresting licensed 3D arena shooter that feels extremely rushed and won't impress anyone.

Game Informer

Foremost among these flaws is the camera, which is so poor that it almost defies imagination. [Dec 2001, p.113]

Nick R. gave it a 10:
Really really fun game! Graphics are amazing, the gameplay beats any other fighting game on dreamcast. Definately worth the $10.
