Yes and it's considered one of the worst games on the system.

@CheeseNoodle Hate to disappoint you both, but it's best known for being extremely bad. Wikipedia includes this note:

The game was widely panned by critics, and has since been considered by many to be one of the worst video games of all time

It has a 32 on Metacritic, and among its reviews are a 1/10 from IGN and 2/10 from Game Informer.

If you're interested in a long-form video about it, there's this 21-minute post-mortem including quotes from the developers and stuff. Like a lot of cases, it seems like publisher interference got in the way of a lot of what the team wanted to do.
