The PlayStation version received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[4] Next Generation said, "Simply put, there isn't a single positive thing to say about Team Losi. It's about as much fun as Gremlin's last PlayStation game (Judge Dredd), and that about says it all."[14]
