Reception

The Dreamcast and PlayStation versions received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[6][7] 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."[22]

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".[25]
