    Once again delivers solid gameplay mechanics mixed in with numerous unlockable features and plenty of racing potential.

    While ATV Offroad Fury 3 has limited, basic modes, it really does shine when it comes down to the raw gameplay.

    Plenty of variety and a wild sense of speed combined with tight control equals fun for the whole family.

    Taking an obvious cue from Xbox Live, the online mode is seriously user-friendly, providing tons of community-building tools—the polar opposite of Offroad Fury 2's laughable online attempt.

    A more well-rounded game than either of its predecessors, and though it's unlikely to convert those who weren't impressed with past installments, fans of the first two games should find plenty to like here.

    A game that is undoubtedly the best of the bunch although it's not very different than the last one. I would rename this game, "ATV Offroad Fury Two-and-a-Half."

    But when ATV Offroad Fury 2 is every bit as good – even graphically, and extremely inexpensive because of its age, there's very little reason to get this version.

Having played the preceding games to death this is the Variety, handling, Online options, punked up music (Bootsy Collins!!) ATV3 has it all. Having played the preceding games to death this is the one I think I'll always return to. I read the message boards and have been disappointed to see many comments that I believe to be quite simply wrong. I don't know whether this is down to Rainbow initiated sour grapes or if I'm just not seeing this game from these reveiwers' perspective. Anyway, they've motivated me to speak out in support of the excellent job that Climax did. So there you go!… Expand

The cons are the highThe nice tracks and landscapes, good graphics, the different games modes and the fun physics are the pros to this game. The cons are the high difficulty and the really annoying fact that you drop from your ATV that easily. Normally at games you survive much more than in reality, in this game however I am sure there are many moves and almost-crashes were in reality you would stay on the ATV and continue the ride, while in the game you fall down and fall back from the competitors.… Expand
