The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3] Next Generation said, "From the uninspired graphics to the sloppy and ill-thought-out gameplay, there is nothing in Contender that stands out as being particularly good and quite a bit that is actually painful to experience. Sony should be ashamed of inflicting this abomination on the gaming public."[12] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 21 out of 40.[7]
