"generally favorable reviews", and the iOS version received "mixed" reviews, while the Xbox 360 version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the [[Review aggregator|review aggregation]] website [[Metacritic]].<ref name="mcios" /><ref name="mcpc" /><ref name="mcx360" /> [[GameSpy]] called the PC version "A slick platform arcade game at a reasonable price... captures Duke perfectly; great system performance; clever use of 3D."<ref name="gspy" /> [[GameSpot]] was more neutral toward the same PC version, saying, "It's straightforward and good-looking... the levels are huge, and most have several paths you can take."<ref name="gspot" /> [[IGN]] called said PC version "a polished, tried, and true title... worthy of a recommendation, especially given its keen price point and familiar antihero."<ref name="ignpc" /> The same website, however, criticized the Xbox 360 version, calling it "a rip-off compared [to] what else is on the market" and "one stone of your past that's better left unturned."<ref name="ignx360" /> ''Manhattan Project'' was a runner-up for ''GameSpot''{{'}}s annual "Best Budget Game on PC" award, which went to ''[[Serious Sam: The Second
