“Rainbow Cotton is the kind of game that series fans will happily add to their collection but it surely won't entice many folks outside of that player base with its dated gameplay that unfortunately hasn't held up all that well.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Review - Rainbow Cotton on Xbox is a pick-and-mix of good stuff and bad. It certainly meets its ‘Rainbow’ target.
TSA writes: "Rainbow Cotton is an interesting peak into the history of Dreamcast gaming, but it lacks the gameplay upgrades and presentation flourishes to make it a genuinely enjoyable game outside of that context."
CCG writes - "The asking price for Rainbow Cotton is $19.99 and I think that’s a bit steep for a partial localization, short gameplay, and limited options. It’s probably my least favorite in the series, but I’m happy to have checked it out. I think it’s worth checking out on a sale though. If you do decide on getting the game, be sure to use a controller that supports turbo rapid firing."
