The PlayStation version received average reviews, while the PC version received unfavorable reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Chris Charla of NextGen called the former version "The Running Man meets Marble Madness: surprisingly fun, especially for less than the cost of two boxes of Cheerios."

Greg Howson of The Guardian commended the gameplay of the PlayStation version, which he described as "mixing Marble Madness, skateboarding and future sport" and "remarkable graphical effects on a machine already drawing its pension." Steve Key of Official Dreamcast Magazine UK described the Dreamcast version's character movement as like "slow, awkward muppets rolling about like a drunken version of It's a Knockout...but with absolutely no fun at all" and stated that it was "probably the most boring game on Dreamcast."
