The PC, PlayStation, and PlayStation 2 versions received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7][8][9] Chris Charla of NextGen was generally positive to the latter console version, praising the realistic driving model, detailed car models and damage, and AI, but criticized an assist mode as "poor" and called the graphics and some other visual effects as "unremarkable".[27] In Japan, where said console version was ported for release on 1 March 2001, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40.[15]

Notes

  1. Three critics of Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the PlayStation 2 version each a score of 6.5/10, 7/10, and 5.5/10.
