    It's not the most original game in the world, and some of the game's unbalanced difficulty will leave you kicking up more than dirt, but in general, it's still a focused, entertaining ride, offline and on.

    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."

    Though the offline game will only satisfy the most hardcore four-wheeling fan, the online racing makes up for most faults.

    The developers have managed to squeeze some extra mileage out of the tired "extreme sports" format with a solid racing engine and a trick/combo that will have you linking more tricks together than a prostitute at Charlie Sheen's Playa's Ball.

    Sure, the offline mode can get old fast, but arcade racing fans with an internet-ready PS2 will find that the title's playability grows almost exponentially when experienced with a group of other human beings.

    There's no standout reason to upgrade from previous editions. But if you're new to backside-blistering fun on four wheels, Fury 3 is worth a blast. [PSW]

    There’s isn’t much realism, most of the graphics and attention to detail are poor and you won’t be feeling the wind rush through your hair anytime soon, but for sheer multiplayer fun you could do a lot worse than give this a go.

    ATV Offroad Fury 3 has one of the most complete set of online options seen a PS2 racing game. Excellent features like ranking, messaging and downloadable ghosts provide all the community extras to go with the main events that support up to six-players.

    If you're looking for an ATV game that offers solid arcade-style gameplay, a wide range of events and decent offline multiplayer options, Offroad Fury 3 does the job.

    Amusing multiplayer mini-games such as basketball, soccer and ice hockey are enjoyable diversions.
  13. Gaming Age

    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.

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.… Full Review »
