The Freshman of GamePro said of the game in one review, "If you're a huge fan of the Danger Girl comic, you might want this game just for some new DG action, but fans of third person action titles probably won't find a lot new about Danger Girl for PlayStation. It's fun enough, but it's definitely not dangerous."[4][a] In another GamePro review, Jake The Snake said, "A moderately fun game despite its faults, Danger Girl will appeal only to those who love all things Danger Girl or all third-person shooters.[19][b]
