General complaints from reviewers were directed at the camera control, which was cited as being particularly poor during combat sequences, as well as occasional frame rate drops. The combat was also criticized for its awkward hit detection. {{w|IGN}} gave the game a 7.3, praising the graphics, soundtrack, and content but said that the fighting mechanics needed work.<ref name="IGN">http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/09/13/medievil-resurrection</ref> {{w|GameSpot}} gave the game a 6.1, stating "The game hasn't aged well, and although it has plenty of personality, the maddening camera control and broken combat mechanics quickly spoil the fun".<ref name="Gamespot">http://www.gamespot.com/medievil-resurrection/reviews/medievil-resurrection-review-6133032/</ref> [http://www.gamecritics.com GameCritics] was one of the harshest reviewers, giving the game a score of 4/10 and stating "I honestly do think that Sir Daniel Fortesque is a good character with potential, but I would have much rather seen an all-new game with a nod towards current methodology than a rehash of something that honestly wasn't all that great in the first place".<ref>http://www.gamecritics.com/book/export/html/3044</ref> | ||
Chris Sorrell and Jason Wilson, co-creators of ''MediEvil'', have also expressed disappointment with the game. Neither of them had any involvement with ''MediEvil: Resurrection'', and when they were asked about the game during an interview with RetroGamer, Jason Wilson said, “It was a strange feeling to see something you loved being remade by others. I now know what all those directors feel like when their movies are remade.” Chris Sorrell said that he was disappointed by the redesign of the game and how there were a number of aspects to ''MediEvil'' PSP that weren't really what he would have chosen. He did say, though, that the development team did an impressive job creating the game considering the time constraints they were up against. | Chris Sorrell and Jason Wilson, co-creators of ''MediEvil'', have also expressed disappointment with the game.
