Reviewers are praising CrossWorlds for its generous roster of tracks, characters, and vehicles, coupled with strong graphics and performance. The dynamic gameplay, the portal mechanics that allow for mid-race teleports to other locations, a killer soundtrack and a robust customization system are also highlighted as positives. Some critics noted the lack of voice acting for guest characters, the absence of a compelling storyline, and a somewhat limited selection of single-player modes as drawbacks.
