The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions received "favorable" reviews, while the GameCube version received "average" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[1][2][3] However, NextGen said of the Xbox version, "The water effects are cool, as is the soundtrack, but with an unforgivably steep learning curve and that intrinsic repetitiveness, only the most extreme fanatics of the stunt genre will get much joy out of this."[22]
The same Xbox version was nominated for GameSpot's annual "Best In-Game Water" award at the Best and Worst of 2001 Awards, which went to Wave Race: Blue Storm.[27]
