ATV Offroad Fury 2 picks up right where the previous version left off—so PS2 rough riders have no time to catch their collective breathes at all! This is a rock ‘n’ rollin’, wrist-snapping slug of adrenaline on four-wheels that challenges you at every turn. Fury 2 is loaded with gameplay. You can ride up to 20 all-terrain vehicles through six types of events, including Supercross, Freestyle courses, and Enduros spread over 40 massive environments. A multitude of moguls, hairpin turns, and drops steep enough to send a mountain goat into therapy mean you have to stay alert throughout every inch of the courses. The action’s intense and demanding, but spot-on controls make this game shine. The amazingly tight joysticks enable you to guide your ATVs through every bump and gully, including take-offs and landings as you launch yourself off the hills. Additionally, the game ups the roadway challenges with mud, sand, and ice areas. Not only that, but you’re asked to pull mid-air tricks, too, including combos! However, the great controls also enable you to easily fine-tune your all-terrain rigs to handle any challenge. This year, Offroad Fury features three entertaining multiplayer mini-games and online gameplay. The connected racing is best appreciated using broadband, and the opportunity to seek out top ATV drivers in the virtual world is a kick and a half. The game presents a cool show, too. The frenetic driving looks impressively sharp, and you can customize your riders right down to the boots. You can even select some cool gameplay views; and the first-person vantage point is awesome. The sounds are dominated by the sonorous wailings from an in-game jukebox featuring such popular MTV luminaries as Korn, Garbage, Cypress Hill, and others.
