    A solid if shallow BMX racer that actually uses a story as an impetus for pulling off tricks. [Jan 2003, p.70]

    Its tough levels should keep you busy for awhile, and the story, while corny, is it at least a reason to play the single-player mode.

    The story aspects and art style are unique, but the seemingly slow-motion gameplay is not. [Feb 2003, p.105]

    The idea of having cannons and other things to deliberately impede your progress is an interesting idea, but the implementation still needs work.
  5. TeamXbox

    All the elements of this game add up to a game that should be rented not bought, bottom line.
  6. IGN

    Add that to the sloppy controls, horrendous physics, and the overall rushed feel of the game, and you've got yourself a truly toxic game.
  7. Xbox Nation Magazine

    We're pretty sure that in the very near future, we'll be using Toxic Grind to torture terrorists into revealing their most closely guarded secrets. Such is the game's badness. [Winter 2002, p.106]
