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