Though some praise was given to the game's graphics and voice acting, reviewers criticised its gameplay, writing and presentation, particularly its stereotyped depiction of gangsta rap and hip-hop culture as well as its gratuitous use of street slang. Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot gave the game a 6.2/10, noting the game's repetitive gameplay and forced use of its "gangsta" theme, stating "187 Ride or Die is a fairly standard car combat game with extremely repetitive gameplay and a hip-hop theme that feels about as fake and forced as it possibly could." Martin Coxall of Eurogamer also gave the game a similarly negative review, comparing it unfavourably with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in terms of presentation: "It feels like a parody of Gangsta-speak, or perhaps more accurately, a script written by some preppy WASP kid using an English-to-Gangsta translator page they found on the web one morning. There's only so much 'Yo shizzle, Gangsta!' a person can take."
