The Dreamcast and PlayStation versions received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[8][9] Doug Trueman of NextGen said that there was "no doubt" that the former console version "will boost sales of Excitebike 64."[33] Vicious Sid of GamePro said of the Nintendo 64 version, "While not a groundbreaking supercross title, McGrath is a big improvement over most dirt-bike racers. In a suddenly bustling genre, McGrath's intuitive gameplay and well-rounded modes help it stand out from the crowd."[36][lower-alpha 4]
