The game received favourable reviews according to the
Need for Speed 3, Test Drive 5, or Ultimate Race Pro."[14] Next Generation said, "as breathtaking as the game may be, and as well as it performs as a traditional racing game, there is absolutely nothing here that hasn't been done before. Of course, we don't expect every game to be a genre-shattering experience, but it never hurts to have an innovative touch or two thrown in for good measure."[16]
