ATV Offroad Fury Pro review

Branching out from ATVs, we're tossed into dirt buggies, trucks, motocross bikes, and even snowmobiles. And while the overall handling for each unique vehicle is solid, some work better than others. But the real star of the game is the ATV, as should be expected, and once you really get into the swing of things and anticipate another round of ass-kicking goodness, your mojo is drained when you're forced to switch vehicles.

Speaking of draining mojo, the non-playable racers, like their PS2 counterparts, have a habit of rubbing you the wrong way. When they're not landing on top of you or pushing you into a bale of hay, they somehow manage to sneak up on you at the last possible second and leave you in their dust.

While ATV Offroad Fury Pro manages to pack quite a punch given the system's limitations, it offers customizable vehicles that you can swap to and from its big brother if you happen to own ATV Offroad Fury 4 for the PS2. Allowing you to upload and download tracks you've built onto that system, the cross-platform connection breathes new life into the game. (If you do own both games, it's worth giving it a try simply to see what your PS2 track looks like on the PSP; there's a certain odd, awe-inspiring factor to the whole switcharoo.)
