GamePro.com - "Barbarian is good as a one-night party game renter-playing more than that will just make you aggravated at the gameplay." Review by Four Eyed Dragon with scores and screen shots.

The Armchair Empire - "All in all, Barbarian is a very entertaining fighting game with some particularly cool features." Review by Tazman with screen shots and score [9/10]. (August 3, 2002)
