Games for Windows: The Official Magazine wrote: "The game's menu system is clunky and aurally abrasive, its environments are sparse and indistinct, and its physics model is so absurdly archaic that you'll pine for the decrepit coin-op racers down at the local bowl-o-rama."[14] Italian GameStar didn't like the bike controls and also stated that the keyboard setup leads to discomfort and expressed confusion over the absence of mouse or analog control options.[9] Strana Igr said the gameplay is too arcadey and graphics unsightly. They compared the game negatively to Super-Bikes Riding Challenge and MotoGP: Ultimate Racing Technology 3.[15] IGN said the graphics are worse than in Superbike 2000 and MotoGP '07.[5]
