Reception

Writing for IGN, Craig Harris gave the game a 6/10, praising the multiplayer and handling improvements over Test Drive 6, but criticizing track design and the decision to add traffic. Club Nintendo lauded the visual details, like the Hollywood sign in the Los Angeles track, and Mardi Gras signs in New Orleans.

Daily Radar's Michael Wolf was indifferent on the game, praising its content and Cop Chase mode, but expressing frustration with the low speed and unimpressive graphics.
