Reception

The game received average reviews, with a Metacritic score of 71% for the PC version. PC Gamer UK called it "lightweight athletics fun", whereas PC Zone said it was "definitely fun, but it's also about as deep as a puddle". VideoGamer looked at the Wii version, which it praised for its excellent motion controls, but pointed out that some of the events are weak.
