The Dreamcast version received "mixed" reviews according to the
review aggregation website
Metacritic. Reviewers of
IGN and
Eurogamer praised the presentation of the PlayStation (
IGN) and Dreamcast versions (
Eurogamer), and how the developers were able to recreate popular attractions in-game, and the "Disney-esque" charm it has. Both also berated the difficulty (with the CPU racers being so hard to beat), some of the graphics, and the fact that the developers only used a small sound sample from each attraction and looped it, which got annoying quickly. A reviewer of
GameSpot called the Dreamcast version a good entry to the kart racing genre, while also bringing attention to its many similarities to
Mario Kart. The amount of detail put into the tracks and the sound were also praised, but the reviewer was disappointed by the game's short play length. Greg Orlando of
NextGen said of the same console version: "Video game behemoth Eidos has fallen prey to the notion that wacky characters plus karts plus odd power-ups automatically equals good racing fun. It doesn't".
Nintendo Power gave the Game Boy Color version a mixed review, nearly three months before its U.S. release date. ==See also==
