The game received average reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3][4] GameSpot gave the PlayStation version a favorable review, over a month before its U.S. release date.[10] However, Next Generation said of the same console version: "In the end, its style-over-substance, mediocre gameplay is what you'll remember the most".[13] In Japan, where the same console version was ported and published by ESPN Digital Games, also under the name X-Games Pro Boarder (X GAMES プロボーダー, Ekkusu Gēmuzu Puro Bōdā), on March 11, 1999, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40.[5]
