Its not going to rock your world, but it looks good, sounds good, plays great and is sure to put a big old smile on your face.
-
Light years better than its ugly-as-sin predecessor and is already worthy to compete against Sony's Offroad Fury series.
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineThe sequel rocks. Hard. In fact, I can't think of a more stupendous leap in quality between a game and its sequel. [Mar 2003, p.103]
-
The controls can get addictive as you want to try to keep unlocking more courses and ATVs to use in future races.
-
If one had to buy an ATV racer for the PS2, I would suggest "ATV Offroad Fury 2"; it gives you a lot more bang for your buck.
-
It just is not the kind of game that will blow racing fans away.
-
Provides some fun racing action, but it's not outstanding.
-
Cheat Code CentralBasically in the same leagues as "Fury" which is disappointing since "Fury" is more than a year old already.
-
PSM MagazineWe only wish that there were more to do, tougher AI, and an online component for those lonely springtime evenings. Not perfect, but definitely not bad. [Mar 2003, p.38]
-
What's really missing here? A bit of inventiveness, we think.
-
Play MagazineIf you own multiple consoles - although the game is solid across all three platforms - the Xbox game takes the prize, with eight competitors to the GC and PS2's six, along with a four-player mode compared to the other consoles' two. [Mar 2003, p.64]
-
Solid and reliable - good qualities in a dog, but we hope for more originality in a game. [PSM2]
-
ATV: Quad Power Racing 2 is to "ATV Offroad Fury 2," as peas and carrots are to filet of Wild Virginia Bass with melted Savoy cabbage and Spanish caper emulsion.
-
The racing can be good, the depth is fine, but the overall execution of the game makes the user feel like they have been shortchanged.
-
While ATV Quad Power Racing 2 is a pretty decent racing game on its own merits, it can't be recommended over a couple of similar games that are already available.
-
The frame rate is solid enough, as is the draw distance, however the water effects leave a lot to be desired when compared to the excellent lighting.
-
With racing thats both difficult and hard to control, as well a poor trick system, Id be quick to pass this up.
-
The novelty of kicking your friends from their bike in the heat of a race won't last forever, so once that aspect of the fun wears off so does any urge to hunker down to a night of ATV Quad Power Racing 2.
-
Competent but unoriginal.
