Reception
The PlayStation 2 version received "generally favorable reviews", while the Xbox version received "mixed or average reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. While Jim Preston of NextGen was critical about the game having "ordinary" graphics and an "awkward" stunt system for the PS2 version, the magazine was more positive to the Xbox version due to its better controls and built-in tutorials. Dan Elektro of GamePro said that the former console version "may find its true niche with big motocross fans, but casual gamers will most likely be left in the dust."
