The Dreamcast and PlayStation versions received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7][8] Jim Preston of NextGen said of the latter console version: "No matter what all the marketing tells you, this has all the grit and soul of an Egg McMuffin" calling it a "LAM3 SK8R".[26]

The game was a runner-up for GameSpot's annual "Worst Game" award among console games, which lost to Spirit of Speed 1937. The staff dubbed it as "unplayable and ugly".[29]
