![]() ![]() Granted this is a 4-year-old game, it still looks pretty decent. If you gather a few friends, however, there?s more fun to be had. After finishing Pro Career mode (which can be beaten within a few days), there?s probably not too much incentive to keep you playing for very long. The only reward here is achieving a high score. As you may have guessed, this is where you bust out the sickest tricks you can handle within the time limit. In addition to standard racing, there?s also a Freestyle mode. There is really no need to go that far off the map anyway. I hate invisible walls as much as the next person does, but this was actually fun. Instead of coming to a sudden stop, my ATV was suddenly jolted several hundred feet in the air, backwards, and away from the invisible wall. I thought I would surely run into an invisible wall. Doesn?t that sound fun? I actually drove in a straight line to see just how long one of the levels went on for. I could, however, put it right behind the building to encourage launching over. I was only disappointed that I couldn?t put a checkpoint on top of a building. In case these sprawling levels sound like fun to you, why not try making your own course out of them? In the ?Waypoint Editor? mode, you can actually place your own checkpoints around the map to create a custom track to race on. I was not expecting to see this in a 4-year-old game. The sheer scale of these levels really impressed me. These include massive cross-country levels, filled with ridiculous mountain jumps. While Pro Career covered a number of tracks that lie herein, there are several others that it never touched. These can be played alone, or with up to 4 players using a PS2 Multi-tap. In addition to Pro Career mode, there are single races to play or practice for fun at any time. Taking jumps correctly and landing smoothly is essential to win a race. ![]() With this technique you can catch ridiculous amounts of air, but too much can mean a head-on collision with a wall or tree. This is called ?Preloading.? It is important to judge how much preload to use (if any) on each jump. You may then fling the thumbstick forward before the end of the jump to make your ATV fly even higher and further than usual. At the start of each one, you can pull back on the left thumbstick, causing a meter to appear. Knowing how to take these jumps is crucial. Each track is filled with twists, turns, and most importantly jumps of all sizes. The basic game play is very simple to pick up, but winning takes some practice. A rank of at least second place is required to move on to the next race. Races consist of 4 riders on a usually dirt-filled path. The races in ATV Offroad Fury can be intense. Of course racing is what this game is all about. On the bright side, you have the option to tune your vehicle before each race so it feels just right. Choose carefully, because you will not get to change your mind during the career. While the clothing is purely for looks, each ATV handles differently. In Pro Career mode, you start out by choosing your rider?s outfit and ATV. Hop on an All Terrain Vehicle, and get ready for an extremely bumpy ride. ![]() So, was it worth the price of admission? Game Play I, however, just happened to pick up a used copy for about five bucks. As you may know, ATV Offroad Fury came out on the PS2 way back in 2001, before spawning numerous sequels.
