Original Xbox Magazine reviewed Schizoid in their May edition, gave us a rating of 8.0, said our "ingenious co-op level design is full of surprises", and praised our "lots of trippy, hyper-neon eye candy."
Game Informer wrote up Schizoid in their just-released print edition, writing, "If you've got a buddy handy, the clear choice du jour is Schizoid, a co-op game I can safely say feels different from anything I've played before."
