The game received average reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3][4] GameSpot gave the PlayStation version a favorable review, over a month before its U.S. release date.[13] However, Next Generation said of the same console version, "In the end, its style-over-substance, mediocre gameplay is what you'll remember the most."[16] In Japan, where the same console version was ported and published by Electronic Arts Square, also under the name X-Games Pro Boarder (X GAMES プロボーダー, Ekkusu Gēmuzu Puro Bōdā), on March 11, 1999, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40.[9] GamePro said that the PlayStation version "enters the PlayStation snowboarding foray to carve a piece out of Cool Boarders' mountain. But X Games Pro Boarder doesn't have the kick to knock CB off the slopes."[20][lower-alpha 3]
