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:
“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)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“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)
