Review Busters writes: "Eat Lead is a comedic action game that makes fun of Duke Nukem, Dead Space, Mario and about a dozen others. The is the kind of game that will get ripped to shreds by big shot critics, mainly since most of them can't take a joke. Thankfully I am not a big shot reviewer yet and I can take a joke, hence my love with Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.
The game features two big stars. Will Arnett and Neil Patrick Harris lend their voices to Eat Lead. Arnett has a lot of fun with Hazard and you can tell that he put enough time into this, rather than half-asses it like most celebrities do with voice roles in video games. Harris also does another great job as the games villain. Two perfect choices for this action game."
