The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[2] Next Generation said, "In the end, PP's racing weighs in at just above average. But with many unique options, including a 'create-your-own obstacle course,' Peak Performance should be enough to entice drivers looking for a 'different' racer as opposed to an improved version of 'more of the same.'"[9] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.[5]

Notes

  1. GamePro gave the game 3.5/5 for graphics, 2/5 for sound, 4/5 for control, and 3/5 for overall fun factor.
