The PlayStation 2 version received "mixed" reviews, while the PC version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[17][18] Scott Steinberg of Next Generation said the former console version had "Standard automotive thrills with a mildly amusing twist – vehicle design options."[1] In Japan, where said console version was ported and published by Success on 21 November 2002, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40.[4]

gollark: Here's a "helpful" illustration.
gollark: Consider the scenario: there are two boxes before you. One of the boxes (let us call it "A") is transparent and contains £10000, which you can see. The other box ("B") is opaque. It contains £1000000 if and only if the entity running this weird scenario predicted (beforehand) that you'll take box B and not box A. Historically, it has been right the vast majority of the time about this. Your options are to take both boxes, or just to take B. What do?!
gollark: Anyway, while I exist, Newcomb's paradox is a fun if not particularly related problem in decision theory.
gollark: When have I *ever* said false things?
gollark: I don't believe in beds.
