What the reviews talk about
What the critics said
GamePro, in a favorable review of the Nintendo 64 version, said, "Fans of California Speed's arcade counterpart will bask in its sharp N64 port, but serious racing fans may be disappointed by the game's lack of replay depth. Consider this a rental title—lease with an option to buy."
— GamePro, 1999
Next Generation, however, said that the arcade version "is aimed directly at the middle of the gaming audience, and it plays that way too."
