2013, calling her "a perfect choice for those who enjoy bad girls." Her game and film incarnations were simultaneously included among the "hottest video game babes" by the New Zealand edition of MSN Lifestyle. Wirtualna Polska showcased Christie among the 20 "sexiest girls from games" in 2012, and Interia.pl included Ayane, Christie and Kasumi among their "sexiest game heroines" the same year. While she was ranked eighth in Complex's 2012 selection of the fifteen "hottest women in video game movies", reception to Christie's portrayal in DOA: Dead or Alive has otherwise been negative, often with sarcastic undertones. Eric Snider of Film.com described Christie and the other female characters therein as "prefer[ring] to conduct their daily affairs unencumbered by clothing." Chris Sims of Comics Alliance commented on her introductory scene that included a confrontation with police officers: "My favorite thing ... is when Christie emerges from the shower naked, but in full makeup. The half-naked fight scene [that follows] comes in at a pretty hilarious second." IGN wrote that Christie's "fighting off assailants [while] wearing nothing but a towel, and then escaping via motorcycle ... with one of the most hilariously blatant cameltoe moments" made the film "worth seeing." Total Film described the sequence as "pillow-soft porn". BBC Online described a later fight scene between Christie and Helena as "an FHM photo shoot turned violent." It placed eleventh out of eighteen "best cinematic girl-on-girl fights" ranked by fans in a 2012 online poll held by JoBlo.com. Gavin Burke of entertainment.ie rated the film itself one star out of five, "for Holly Valance alone", and Brian Marder of Hollywood.com opined that Valance "makes her sultry fighter hot enough to distract from her ho-hum acting." Marca Player called the film "very bad", but felt Christie was "great."
