Several critics remarked that the game was a strong handheld extreme sports title, comparable with the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater handheld series.[6][1] Computer & Video Games praised the game's progression, finding the game "gets better the more you play" due to unlocking new areas and skills, although found the game challenging.[1] Describing the game as "surprisingly playable, complex, visually impressive and fun", Frank Dry of Hyper praised the game's wide variety of moves and "fluid and realistic bike movements".[6] Frank Provo of GameSpot considered the gameplay to be enjoyable, but felt the game "doesn't break any new ground" and "is a bit light in the way of overall variety".[2]
