The PlayStation version received average reviews, while the PC version received unfavorable reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[2][3] Chris Charla of NextGen called the former version "The Running Man meets Marble Madness: surprisingly fun, especially for less than the cost of two boxes of Cheerios."[13]
Reviewing the PlayStation version Greg Howson of The Guardian awarded the title 4/5 stars, commending its gameplay which he described as "mixing Marble Madness, skateboarding and future sport" and "remarkable graphical effects on a machine already drawing its pension".[16]
Official Dreamcast Magazine's Steve Key rated it as 3/10, describing the character movement as like "slow, awkward muppets rolling about like a drunken version of It's a Knockout...but with absolutely no fun at all" and damning the title as "probably the most boring game on Dreamcast".[17]
