Amazon.com Review

The arcade-style ATV: Quad Power Racing 2 is as much about big air and reckless hotdogging as it is about crossing the finish line. To make any progress in this game, you must not only win races, but master increasingly complicated tricks and combos. Taking the time to master tricks pays off in the end--there are no shortage of locked features that open up with each advance in skill.

The game incorporates a wide array of well-rendered racers, vehicles, and locations. The various racing courses are elaborate and nicely detailed. You can knock competitors out of your way by administering a solid kick while passing--not exactly sportsmanlike behavior, but gratifyingly reminiscent of the classic Road Rash. For tricksters and stunt-riders, the freestyle arenas offer a candy store of possibilities. But the standout feature is the physics model behind the game. The overall handling and responsiveness of the vehicles is surprisingly realistic--even the controller vibration is more convincingly incorporated than in other racing games. Some finesse is required to pull off even the simpler tricks, and as with the real thing, it's easy to lose control of these powerful machines.--Maile Bohlmann Pros:

• Great graphics
• Realistic physics and handling
• Fun multiplayer and freestyle modes
• Lots of unlockable bonuses

Cons:

• Music is grating, annoying
• Offensive moves (i.e. kicking) are underdeveloped
• Training/practice modes are oversimplified

3.0 out of 5 stars The best ATV game available (but still mediocre), December 27, 2002

This review is from: ATV 2 Quad Power Racing (Video Game)

Let me start with the good things about this game. It is relatively fast paced, the graphics are pretty good, the physics engine is nice, and the controls are, for the most part, intuitive.

Now the bad. This game is supposed to be about tricks and the ability to kick your opponents off their ATV, but the tricks are nothing special, and the kick option is very limited. You hit the B button (which means you have to take a finger off the throttle), and the game decides which direction to kick. If there is an ATV on each side, it's a coin flip who gets kicked. And the supposed variety in tracks and riders is just a lot of the same-old same-old. (Who cares how many amateur or professional riders there are to choose from. Can YOU name a pro ATV rider?) Oh, and the music is insipid.

But, if this is your thing, you might find it enjoyable. The game isn't BAD, it's just not that GOOD.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: ATV 2 Quad Power Racing (Video Game)

The game play on this game is awesome. There is a huge variety of drivers, vehicals, tricks, levals, and music. I love how there is no limit to what you can do on an ATV on this game, most ATV games don't even let you do a backflip. Althogh I wish the PS2 version has four player mode but it only has two, if you want to have four player on this game, you might as well get the Xbox version but what is so awesome is the graphics are awesome on both versions. If you want lots of fun on an ATV, then you can eather get a real ATV and go out there, or you can get this game, eather way you will have lots of fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun factor!!!, January 29, 2003

This review is from: ATV 2 Quad Power Racing (Video Game)

This game is arcade & not best in looks but i,ve had more fun with this game than PS2's ATV Fury, Which I own both 1&2. Tracks are wide and fast. The preload system is a button which I like. But Control setings should have DEFAULT C STYLE (Xbox). Challenge towers is a kick. Reviewers said fighting wouldn't play a part but it does like road rash. Ive been playing the game for 5 days and still having fun. Great 2 player game. Chapionship multiplayer rules!!!
