The Dreamcast version received "favorable" reviews, while the PlayStation 2 version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7][8] Evan Shamoon of NextGen said of the former console version, "Despite one frustrating design decision, this is a beautifully presented and eminently likable game—and easily the best kart racer on Dreamcast."[28]
