    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 Variety, handling, Online options, punked up music (Bootsy Collins!!) ATV3 has it all.

Anyway, they've motivated me to speak out in support of the excellent job that Climax did. So there you go! Expand

    Very good. Despite a few frustrating features under Multiplayer mode, and heavy on graphic power on the poor old PS2, you won't be dissapointed by the handling and gameplay overall.

    Still a very solid offroad racer almost a decade later. Looks and plays well despite the age and now makes for some good budget fun as long as you're not a graphic snob

    The 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 ATVThe nice tracks and landscapes, good graphics, the different games modes and the fun physics are the pros to this game.

    This game is **** It does not have good graphics and game play. ATV Offroad fury 1,2 and 4 are excellent.

  1. 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.
  2. Once again delivers solid gameplay mechanics mixed in with numerous unlockable features and plenty of racing potential.
  3. A fine ATV racing title with enough modes to please gamers for many hours, excellent online with little lag, a respectable graphics engine and decent soundtrack.
