Reception

GamePro's Grease Monkey said the game has fast, smooth scrolling but blocky visuals. He criticized the lack of realism, particularly that there are no falls or crashes (it was easy) , and felt the way the soundtrack changes according to what's going on in the race made the sound too chaotic. He concluded: "Dirt Trax FX is a fun game, but serious gear heads will pass in favor of more lifelike motorcycle excitement".^[3]
