Cross Edge received mixed reviews. PlayStation Official Magazine US gave it a 3/5 citing technical issues. "From dialogue that loads one line at a time to the lack of PS3-level graphics (high-res static art aside), everything seems like a remnant from the early 2000s." IGN gave a score of 3.5 out of 10, stating "A game that could have been an entertaining compilation of iconic Japanese characters turned out to be a frustrating, awkward mess of menus, Gameplay imbalances and annoying dialogue scenes." GameZone's revw also gave a low score of 4.5 out of 10 ek. Sales of the game totalled just 44,246 units in the region by the end of 2008 according to Famitsu.
