Computer Gaming World | 3/5[6] |
Computer Gaming World gave the game a score of 3 out of 5 stating "Gamers suffer from wanting to be both officers and grunts simultaneously: Most strategy games that attempt to address both aspects fail to properly balance the two points of view. Yet, the latest entry in this genre, MUZZLE VELOCITY, is so enthusiastic that it largely succeeds despite some flaws"[6]
Richard Moore from The Age stated "Muzzle Velocity is a very good buy. But remember, if the strategic side of the game gets too much, hit enter and indulge in a bit of shooting 'em up"[7]
