Reception
Moto Racer 2 garnered positive reviews from critics for its variety and its level editor; it has received a compilation score of 82.10% for PlayStation and a 72.04% for Microsoft Windows from GameRankings. IGN gave both versions of the game Editor's Choice awards.
IGN's Doug Perry said that Moto Racer 2 was the best motorcycle racer seen on the PlayStation. He praised the game's accessibility to newcomers and variety in course collection; however, he criticized the game's mediocre graphics. GameSpot's Ryan MacDonald felt that the game wasn't as ground-breaking as the first in the series, but praised the DualShock control scheme and liked the improved visuals.
GameSpot's Michael Ryan noted that the game disappointed when compared to Motocross Madness, but praised the game for fast paced arcade action. IGN's Tal Blevins disagreed with Ryan's assessment, feeling that the game appealed to hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike, and praised the game's realistic physics engine.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
