Reception

Scrapland received mixed to positive reviews. The PC version of the game has received a 72 on Metacritic with the Xbox version receiving a 73. Gameinformer gave the game a 6.5, saying "Worst of all, however, are the on-foot sections - which would appear to be in the game for the sole purpose of annoying people. Scrap indeed." IGN gave the game a more positive score, awarding it with a 8.2, saying "I would have liked to have seen more variety and lateral flexibility in the single-player... Overall, the game's refreshing sense of personality wins out over everything else."
