The game was a bestseller in the UK. The game created quite a stir, and was a commercial success, though it received mixed reviews upon release.
A fan-made content port of the game's map to Grand Theft Auto IV's Rockstar Advanced Game Engine was created by users from the GTAForums community, along with conversions using files from later games. The port was met with positive reception from Rockstar themselves, commending on the efforts done by modders to the games.

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 aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
