What the reviews talk about
What the critics said
Nintendo Power gave it a 6.9 overall rating, stating that its graphics looked "fairly sharp, but the game lacks some of the special effects that are common in the latest generation of N64 titles" and that its sound "completely fails to rock."
— Nintendo Power, 1999
In comparing the game to 1080° Snowboarding, Tim Weaver of N64 Magazine said that "its similarity to 1080° begins and ends with the fact that both games feature a board."
— N64 Magazine, 1998 (Tim Weaver)
Nintendo Official Magazine drew similarities to 1080° Snowboarding in its 69% review, stating that "There is no comparison between Airboarder 64 and 1080°. It's slow, play controls are too basic and there's little challenge."
