Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "There are plenty of missions, some interesting weapons, and a variety of enemies, which, along with network support, keeps Total Mayhem from being a total loss, but it's certainly not enough to make this one a legend."
