Red Zone received generally average reviews from critics. Amiga Action said the game is "a marginal improvement over Team Suzuki." and concluded that the game is "Reasonable but possessing nothing special over its more illustrious predecessors." [2] The One said "Red Zone is quite simply the most exciting bike-racing game yet." [1] CU Amiga said the graphics have more detail than MicroProse's Formula One Grand Prix but the game runs sluggishly with all the graphic options on. The game was also compared to Gremlin's Team Suzuki: "Red Zone is very good in some areas, but limps along with others. Its biggest problem is that visually it is too slow to be anywhere near as playable as Gremlin's effort, which is why I would go for the latter [...]". [3] Amiga Computing summarized: "The whole point of getting rid of excess detail is to speed up the gameplay, but the change is practically unnoticeable. Sorry Psygnosis but it's a turkey." [9] Aktueller Software Markt called the game mediocre that could have been good with smoother graphics and animation. [8] Amiga Format said: "This control system, accurate as it may be, is just too complicated for a game of this kind." [5] Génération 4 called the game a pale clone of Team Suzuki. [10]
