Reception
The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions received "favorable" reviews, while the Game Boy Advance version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Jim Preston of NextGens September 2001 issue said that the PS2 version "lacks the complete details to be the best, but it's still an accurate and fun way to drive fast and to the left." Three issues later, however, he said that the Xbox version "won't convert non-NASCAR nuts, but casual and hardcore stock fans would be wise to pick it up." Jake The Snake of GamePros September 2001 issue called the PlayStation 2 version "the stock-car game to beat." Four issues later, Four-Eyed Dragon said of the Xbox version, "If you want a worthy adversary to EA's NASCAR series, Heat is it."
