Reception

The game received an aggregate score of 41/100 on Metacritic, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[1]

Alex Navarro of GameSpot rated the game 4.5/10, praising the game's team battle mode but criticizing the loading times, driving gameplay and "broken" ad-hoc multiplayer mode, as well as the game's lack of free roam.[2] 1Up.com gave the game a D+ rating, calling the game's life bar mechanic "pretty intense", but saying that the racing mechanics feel "like ice racing most of the time".[3] Chris Roper of IGN rated the game 2.5/10, calling it "easily one of the worst racing games I've ever laid my hands on, bar none", and noting that the ad-hoc multiplayer was "completely and entirely nonfunctional", and that both racers became more and more out of sync as the race progressed.[4]
