The Vancouver Sun described it as "compelling, fascinating and informative".[3] Geet Out UK thought it "wove RP and intrigue into the educational content".[4] Feibel said it was "Elaborate, exciting, informative. Mandatory!".[5] Sun Sentinel said the educational content was let down by poor gameplay.[6] Meanwhile, a book that explored the series felt it was a good mix of the two.[7]
