Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The main thing this game has going for it is speed--pure speed. And that's really the most important thing a racing game can have. Unlike so many racing games that throw a hundred options at players and then offer lame, slow-motion action, ATV more or less says hurry up.

The fact that the vehicles of choice are ATVs is almost unimportant, except that, like a cat, they can catch huge air and always seem to land on all fours. And though these machines go fast, there's really little reason to slow down. In fact, players won't even have to brake on the first three tracks, as power leans and a slight easing of the accelerator can satisfy most turning demands.

Of course, all this speed does have its costs, especially as far as graphics go. It's not that the tracks are ugly by any means; they hold together with little polygon breakage. It's just that they're entirely generic. You've got your desert track, your snow track, your forest track, and subtle variations of the aforementioned three. Also, there's very little a player can do besides race--in other words, no tricks. Obviously, this can get pretty boring after a while, but for those who just want to race, ATV makes a decent showing. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Really fast action
• Surface-specific ATVs for sand, snow, and dirt
• Above-average music fits the game's action

Cons:

• Monotonous graphics
• No tricks

5.0 out of 5 stars My Definition Of ATV: Quad Power Racing, December 22, 2001

Lord of the Rings enthusiatic (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: ATV Quad Power Racing (PS1) (Video Game)

"ATV: Quad Power Racing" is the bomb. It's high speed racing action, plus excellent graphics make it my #1 favorite racing game. It has 24 coooool tracks to choose from (12 tracks in amateur mode plus 12 in pro mode), 8 ATVs to choose from and 6 riders to choose from. It has two player time attack and a 1-on-1 race. If you like racing games you should buy it. If you don't like racing games you should buy it. And even if you don't like your Playstation you should buy it. No matter what you should buy it.
