The game received mainly negative reviews for the PlayStation version, but positive reviews for the PC version. GameRankings gave it a score of 32% for the former (based on 7 reviews)[11] and 82% for the latter (based on 1 review).[10]
GameSpot gave the game 2.4 out of 10, with the reviewer calling it "quite possibly the worst game I've ever played".[6] Game Revolution gave the game an "F" rating, concluding "Poor level design... boring puzzles... it just never ends, but I can't go on. Let me sum it up by saying that The Fifth Element is simply not fun to play. Not even a little bit."[5] IGN gave the game 5 out of 10, stating "All in all, this adventure/action game does what all of the other games in the genre do, but not in any way better."[7] The only positive reviews came from GamePro, which gave the game three-and-a-half stars out of five,[4] and from Game Informer, which gave the game 7 out of 10, but quipped that "Unfortunately, the control is cumbersome, the camera sometimes jumps or sticks, and the enemies prove to be rather dumb. Rent it first, but if you really like the movie, you'll probably like the game too."[3]
