Cheat Code Central
It's not always funny, but there are laugh out loud times that balance the groans...Nudity and language aside, ... It's one of the best BMX XXX games to date.

The excellent camera will thrill those whose stomachs are still churning from the dizzying "nausea cam" in "Mat Hoffman."

Like a real strip club, BMX XXX loves to tease you. But at the end of the day, you feel a bit ripped off. [Jan 2003, p.106]

With so many pre-definable and goofy options available at the outset, it's easy to get into the admittedly gonzo spirit of things.

The game definitely does not attempt to take itself seriously, and I personally found most of it hilarious... The one real problem I have with the game is the camera.

It does handle incredibly well, and the never less than lowbrow humor vaires from hilarious to so-stupid-it's-still-kinda-funny. It ain't perfect, but it's worth the ride. [Feb 2003, p.64]

Media and Games Online Network
The nude factor wasn’t used to its fullest as it definitely didn’t look as good on the characters as it should have, and the game modes are not all that enthralling either.

Once you get by all of the sex, drugs, alcohol, and profanity you'll notice that there is an actual BMX game underneath with fairly inventive level design and some solid gameplay mechanics that actually would have amounted to a fun game had it not been bogged down by so much profane material.

Either the game needed to have more XXX or a more refined BMX side, but leaving it caught up in the middle where it is now won't be very satisfying for hardcore gamers.

Lacking refinement and that finesse games like THPS just scream, BMX XXX is just a cheap thrill for a Saturday afternoon when you are really, really bored.

The gameplay and adult content both fail to deliver, leaving the game thoroughly Mirra'd in mediocrity.

From the random bugs and collision problems to some joke missions that have no punch line, the whole game feels rushed and unfinished.

The game camera despite offering several possible views is like a stubborn sheep – refusing to do as its told and turning slowly in confined spaces.

You have to take to the streets with novelty riders you would associate with inner city and prostitution rings. Have you ever seen a crackhead do a 540 Superman off an outhouse?

The clips are nothing more than what you see on “Wild on E!” plus, the game doesn’t do the biking or the porn stuff well.

Aside from making the "groundbreaking" move of featuring a lot of cursing and strippers, BMX XXX doesn't do anything particularly well.

More puzzling are the physics of Sweet Cheeks' attire: If she's wearing a thong, what could possibly be holding up her suspenders? [29 Nov 2002, p.113]

It's more like FFF thanks to the language. [Feb 2003, p.46]

Here's some of the stuff you will not laugh at: dogs fornicating, bird poop, aliens anally impaled. [Feb/Mar 2003, p.81]

Physics don't play a big part in the proceedings; it's possible to ride a character full-speed into a wall, without any ill effects. [Feb 2003, p.72]

Eurogamer
There are some ‘clever’ bits, like a Winona Ryder look-alike shoplifter (surely she’s too pretty to lock up?), but on the whole it’s a ‘point and laugh’ kind of humour rather than a hearty laugh out loud spectacle.

The biggest issues players will likely have are the annoying time-based objectives, sloppy control in pedaling from one spot to the next, and confusing environments desperately needing some sort of onscreen map or compass.

Dislike it because it's a tired game on a tired engine. You could press those boobs against the screen and it still wouldn't make this game any good. [Jan 2003, p.79]

Electronic Gaming Monthly
Difficult - even the homeliest guy on earth could get laid before he could complete the inane tasks required to unlock all the R-rated stripper videos (which aren't worth the effort, by the way). Only the most patient, hardcore, and masochistic will be able to play through XXX. [Feb 2003, p.152]

G4 TV
Not funny, despite its pathetic attempt at being so. The jokes are racist for the sake of being racist, confuse fecal references with wit, and are just generally asinine.
