The PC version received "average" reviews, while the PlayStation version received "unfavorable" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[13][14] IGN said of the former, "You need guts to go head-to-head with a Microsoft title, and Motocross Mania has more than enough."[9] GameSpot was divided between the two releases. On one hand, Tom Kayes said of the PC version, "If you're a fan of motocross, then Motocross Mania would make a great addition to your collection."[4] However, when it came to the PS version, Jeff Gerstmann scathingly remarked that "With so many better supercross games on the market, many of them older and available at similar bargain-basement price points, Motocross Mania has no place in the market."[5] Scott Steinberg of Next Generation called the latter "A stripped-down racer running on fumes – which is exactly what you'd have to be inhaling before purchasing this game."[10]
