Reception has been mixed. According to GameRankings, the average review rating for the game is a 55% on Xbox and 56% on PC. The game was delayed multiple times from its original March 21, 2006, release date, and started to get better reactions from the press during its development, but it has still continued to get mixed reviews. People who played the game or demo thought it was a top notch fast paced shooter. In the words of IGN, who gave Warpath a 5.3/10 on Xbox and 5.7/10 on PC:"While WarPath doesn't do anything blatantly wrong, it fails to do anything new. Charging through the repetitive metallic halls of each level will feel very familiar to anyone who's played a lot of first person shooters. Even the bots on the hardest difficult suffer from noticeable A.I. issues, so if this one's to be played at all it should be online. After numerous hours of play some weapon balance issues will become apparent, especially with the Vibro Blade during close range battles. Vehicles are included, but they're generally useless as the stages are so small. A larger variety of game modes more interesting maps would have helped out, but ultimately WarPath does little too differentiate itself from the rest of the shooters out there. The upgradeable weapons are a good feature, but nothing that'll hold players' interest beyond a few hours."
