Reception

The Dreamcast version received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1] Rob Smolka of NextGen said of the game, "Essentially a group of sports-based Java applets, there's enough charm and challenge to keep you coming back to improve your score."[11] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.[7]

Also in Japan, Game Machine listed the arcade version in their February 15, 2001 issue as the third most-successful arcade game of the month.[12]
