Spearhead received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3]
The game was described as a mix between tank simulation and an action game. GameSpot said, "The game offers a handful of features and elements that seem ideal for hard-core sim fans, but the mission designs and the general feel of gameplay seem more appropriate for an action game than a serious sim."[10] IGN said, "the emphasis here is definitely more on fun than it is on realism."[11] PC Accelerator called it an "action/strategy/tank sim hybrid".[12]
