The PC version received "mixed" reviews, while the Xbox 360 version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1][2]
Carolyn Petit of GameSpot called the PC version "good-looking" and its boost mechanic exciting, but said that it lacked interesting single-player content.[4] Similarly, John Blyth of Official Xbox Magazine UK called the Xbox 360 version a "perfectly average experience", but criticized its destruction mode as "dull".[7] Bryan Dupont-Gray of Hardcore Gamer said that the fact it was a party racing game was a "misstep".[6]
