Gameplay

(split-screen races for two players).[2] During the race, the action can be seen from either watch or jockey mode with various number of camera angles.[3]

Reception

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4] Gary Whitta of NextGen said of the game, "It's unlikely to kick-start widespread U.S. interest in a strange Japanese genre, but as a break from the norm it's just the ticket."[13] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40.[7]
