Reception
The PC version of Killer Loop received favourable reviews, while the PlayStation version and MagForce Racing received mixed reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen gave both console versions negative reviews in two separate issues, saying of the PlayStation version: "Six tracks and six vehicles spread over four classes with no two-player mode – you do the math. Although a competent effort, this is the definition of a placeholder title, and you've seen it all before" (#61, January 2000); and later of MagForce Racing: "There's nothing here you haven't seen done before and done better" (#69, September 2000).
