ATV
Offroad |
||
A recent Sony release will have appeal for
adrenaline junkies of various persuasions, not just the ones that love to scream around a
track. ATV OFFROAD will grab motorcycling fans, boarders, surfers and extreme
sports fans alike with its fast-paced rough and tumble action and, once again, the power
of the PS2 is blatantly evident. Players get the chance to choose from 11 different all terrain vehicles that can be further customised in a garage facility. Tinker with the traction, speed, stability and acceleration capabilities while considering the condition of the terrain you are about to race across. Each race map can cover a free-roaming area of around 2 square
miles and they’ll throw everything the real world has to offer right in your face.
Tree lined forest trails, deceptive in their tranquillity, will fling dirt and mud while
desert scenarios spray waves of sand. Rocky hillsides hold their own unique perils but in
each of these environments the goal is exactly the same: make your way across the finish
line before anyone else gets there…! For some reason, extreme sports are always accompanied by extreme
music and ATV OFFROAD is no exception. The top hard rock artists featured include
names such as Anthrax, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden amongst their ranks and the tracks
they pound out are a perfect accompaniment to the manic on-screen action. High jumps,
skidding turns and jarring landings are nothing to these hardy vehicles but handling them
is a task for experts. In this simulation, however, the learning curve is much gentler and
certainly not as life threatening, which should give every player an even chance to show
what they can do.
Price: £39.99 for PS2. |
