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".[27]
The game was a runner-up for the "Worst Game" award at GameSpot's Best and Worst of 2000 Awards, which went to Spirit of Speed 1937. The staff dubbed it as "unplayable and ugly".[30]
