The PlayStation 3 version received "generally favorable reviews", while the PC and Xbox 360 versions received "mixed or average reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [2] [3] [4]
GamesRadar+ said of the PS3 version, "There is something fundamentally fun about racing tiny cars across a breakfast table and pushing your best mate off it onto the floor...[it] offers immediate multiplayer fun thanks to its mix of racing, weapons and forgiving handling...[but] the single-player mode is not as entertaining." [7]
Eurogamer said that the "handling is appropriately chunky, with enough bounce to be fun, but enough traction that you don't feel out of control...the tracks and race types certainly don't offer enough variation that the decision to favour speed over handling, or vice versa, has any real tactical merit...[but] as a budget-priced reminder of simpler times, Toybox Turbos does everything it needed to, but sadly not much more."
