The graphics of the game are generally praised for their modern quality and smooth gameplay, with some users noting impressive track designs and vehicle dynamics. However, there are criticisms regarding outdated elements from previous titles, noticeable pop-in issues, and performance limitations like a locked framerate. Overall, while the visuals are appealing, they are marred by some technical shortcomings.

- “Graphics are nice, and it features some cool tracks, but there is something off with the vehicle handling.”
- “It's really done well, the graphics are awesome, the gameplay is smooth, and my favorite part is that when you are driving your bike, car, or buggy a little off the road and off terrain, it does not really get hung up anywhere, allowing you to keep your momentum going.”
- “(The tracks, graphics, sounds, music, etc. have not changed since the 1st game ATV Drift & Tricks was released like 5 years ago! They aren't that bad, but Pure [Disney Interactive] did all of those things 100 times better in 2007). I'd give this -100 stars out of ten.”
- “On maximum graphics settings, the pop-in is noticeable and happens right in front of you, and the framerate is locked to 62fps, despite unlocking V-Sync on my 144Hz laptop.”
- “Well, the game runs without problems under Linux (Steam Play), but it's quite demanding for the graphics card.”

- “While I will still be on the lookout to find that perfect modern copy of the PS3 arcade racing legend, I'll also gladly return to this game as the next best thing so far with its unique little spin on the gameplay.”
