Multiplayer

BackTracks multiplayer mode has six deathmatch arenas, each playable as a standard 20-point deathmatch or as a 4-point round-robin. Both modes support up to four players via a link cable.

Reception

Reception was mixed. Nintendo Power felt the game came close to a "bull's-eye". They enjoyed the smooth movement and scrolling. The best feature was its multiplier modes. Nintendo Power gave it a 4 out of 5.
IGN praised the game for its solid framerate, but noted that the story at times "Doesn't work", and that the humor was "groan-worthy". The game was panned in the press for being mediocre in comparison with other FPS games released around the same time. It had an average rating of 56% on GameRankings.
