Reception
Although the sound effects are praised, Jekyll & Hyde didn't receive many positive reviews from critics. IGN says "Good voice acting is unfortunately overshadowed by the lack of animation when characters are speaking...if almost nothing else is good about a game, sound cannot save it."[2] GameSpot criticized the game's confusing camera angles and bad control, saying "it seems less like a game and more like a parody of the action-adventure genre."[3]
