The game's graphics were generally praised by critics. "GameSpot"s Andrew Seyoon Park stated that virtually everything in the PC version "looks bright, colorful and clean" when playing in 3D-accelerated mode, but called its texturing minimal. Ben Stahl of the same website also called the N64 version's track design "innovative and cute", as well as saying the tracks and backgrounds have a "somewhat real look" that makes it easier to tell where the player should be driving. Trent C. Ward of "IGN" praised the PC version's background animations, stating that they not only "add to the atmosphere of the game, but also affect the way it plays". However, some reviewers criticised the game's performance, with the website's Sam Bishop stating that the PlayStation version's load times between levels are horrendous and "NextGen" Chris Charla calling the N64 version's framerate "nauseatingly slow". Conversely, Winnie Imperio of "IGN" called the same console version's framerate "consistent, if not entirely smooth".
