The PlayStation 2 version received "generally favorable reviews", while the Xbox version received above-average reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[8][9] While Jim Preston of NextGen was critical about the game having "ordinary" graphics and an "awkward" stunt system for the PS2 version,[24] the magazine was more positive to the Xbox version due to its better controls and built-in tutorials.[25] Dan Elektro of GamePro said that the former console version "may find its true niche with big motocross fans, but casual gamers will most likely be left in the dust."[31][b]
