IGN: "Beatdown isn’t a bad side-scrolling brawler. It’s just too simplistic. Where’s the spice?"
AppAdvice: Beatdown! ($0.99) by Ravenous Games Inc. is what we all dream of doing if we get canned from the job, but in a virtual way, so you don’t get in trouble with the law. I mean, who wants that, right?
AppSpy: Beatdown! may not go down as the most complex of beat'em-ups, but if all you want is a straight up brawler then you can't go wrong with the streamlined action it contains.
STP: Beatdown! is the very definition of average. It’s not something you’re going to really hate or really love. It’s just sort of there.
