Street Uni X is a fantastic homage to classic PS1-era extreme sports games, capturing the nostalgic feel while introducing unique mechanics that reflect the challenges of unicycling.
The game features a great soundtrack that enhances the overall experience, with a variety of tracks that fit the extreme sports vibe perfectly.
Once players adapt to the controls, which differ from traditional skateboarding games, they find the gameplay rewarding and engaging, allowing for creative combos and tricks.

The control scheme can be disorienting for players accustomed to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, requiring a significant adjustment period that may frustrate some users.
Some players feel that the level design is cramped and lacks variety, with limited unique goals in each stage, which can diminish replay value.
There are occasional sound design issues, such as missing audio effects for certain actions, which detracts from the overall polish of the game.

The game's replayability is somewhat mixed; while the smooth gameplay and the potential for unlocking new content encourage repeated playthroughs, the shorter career mode and limited additional content may leave some players wanting more.

- “As far as the gameplay goes, it's smooth, feels good to play, and has tons of replay value.”
- “The career mode is shorter than career modes in THPS and other games from that era, but trying to find what you might unlock next helps maintain the replay value.”
- “Aside from doing the story with another character to unlock another character and free ride, there's not much here for replay value.”
