Reception
Freefall Racers received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Mark B. for Diehard GameFan stated that "Freefall Racers is just fine for the price point, and anyone who enjoys combat racing or Kinect games should absolutely check this out, as it's a solid entry that fans of either will enjoy." GamesMaster rated the game 6/10 in the magazine, stating that the game is "Essentially SSX for kids but without the snowboard." The Official Xbox Magazine rated the game 6/10 in their magazine, stating that "The outdoors tracks are vibrantly colored and interestingly designed, and send you speeding along at an impressive clip. But while it looks like a second cousin to the Ice Age films, Freefall Racers is utterly devoid of personality, and it's also rather slight, with just eight tracks split between a handful of drab cups and no real long-lasting pull in sight." José Manuel for Vandal rated the game 5/10, stating that "Freefall Racers is a perfect example of what Kinect has meant in this generation, a technological marvel from which it has not been possible to take full advantage as it could. This is a good idea that has led to a fun, but excessively simple, and short game that only the little ones will enjoy, or if we are with a friend at home."
