The PC version received above-average reviews, while the PlayStation version received mixed reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[4][5] Edge described the latter version as "something of an enigma, existing somewhere between Wipeout and Ridge Racer."[3] The magazine praised its distinctive setting and addictive gameplay, but criticized its difficulty and short number of tracks.[3] Chris Gregson of GameSpot said of the PC version, "If you like pure speed seasoned with good graphics, this is one you definitely don't want to miss."[13] PC Accelerator gave the European import a mixed review, while PC Gamer gave it a favourable review, many months before it was released Stateside.[18][19]
