Reception
The PC version received above-average reviews, while the PlayStation version received mixed reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Edge described the latter version as "something of an enigma, existing somewhere between Wipeout and Ridge Racer." The magazine praised its distinctive setting and addictive gameplay, but criticized its difficulty and short number of tracks. Chris Gregson of GameSpot said of the PC version, "If you like pure speed seasoned with good graphics, this is one you definitely don't want to miss." PC Accelerator gave the European import a mixed review, while PC Gamer gave it a favourable review, many months before it was released Stateside.
