The PlayStation 2 and GameCube versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the Game Boy Advance version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[28][29][30] In Japan, where the PS2 version was ported for release under the name Freekstyle Motocross (フリークスタイル モトクロス, Furīkusutairu Motokurosu) and published by Electronic Arts on October 3, 2002, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.[6]
Entertainment Weekly gave the PS2 version an A− and said: "With a great two-player head-to-head mode and 100 over-the-top stunts to perform, this makes regular motocross games look downright dull by comparison".[27] FHM gave it four stars out of five and said it had "splendid gameplay topped by highly-involving action and some nice comedy touches".[31] The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the PS2 and GameCube versions four stars out of five: "This title feels as good as it looks thanks to its tight and responsive handling".[26] Maxim likewise gave the PS2 version four stars out of five almost a month before its release date: "Extreme games keep getting extremer, but it would be tough to top this hellish twist on motocross racing".[32]
