Review
The arcade-style ATV: Quad Power Racing 2 is as much about
big air and reckless hotdogging as it is about crossing the finish line. To
make any progress in this game, you must not only win races, but master
increasingly complicated tricks and combos. Taking the time to master tricks
pays off in the end--there are no shortage of locked features that open up
with each advance in skill.
The game incorporates a wide array of well-rendered racers,
vehicles, and locations. The various racing courses are elaborate and nicely
detailed. You can knock competitors out of your way by administering a solid
kick while passing--not exactly sportsmanlike behavior, but gratifyingly
reminiscent of the classic Road Rash. For tricksters and stunt-riders, the
freestyle arenas offer a candy store of possibilities. But the standout
feature is the physics model behind the game. The overall handling and
responsiveness of the vehicles is surprisingly realistic--even the
controller vibration is more convincingly incorporated than in other racing
games. Some finesse is required to pull off even the simpler tricks, and as
with the real thing, it's easy to lose control of these powerful machines.--Maile
