Reception

GamePro gave the Genesis version a mixed review. They criticized the lack of a change view feature and the absence of graphical detail, but praised the split-screen multiplayer, highly responsive controls, and the choice of an intense, simplistic arcade mode and a simulation mode which demands careful, thoughtful decision-making from the player. They assessed the Super NES version to be not as good due to the less dramatic visuals and less realistic engine sounds.
Next Generation gave the SNES version of the game two stars out of five, and called the game repetitive, dull, and not fun.
