The wide tracks allow a lot of room for mistaken swerving. Although there are some narrow spots, even if you bump into the walls lightly you won't fall off. This game is very forgiving when landing basic jumps. I've landed 50 yard jumps on only one wheel or even at an angle and still continued on racing. Landing after tricks is a bit more challenging but a good one for casual gamers. Speaking of tricks, only on another planet would you be able to pull off some of the crazy jumps in this game, but that's part of the fun. Who cares if you can't pull off a 360 backflip on an ATV in the middle of a rock quarry in real life. You can in this game and it's a lot of fun seeing how high and far you can jump during a mad dash to the finish line.
Some of the cons:
-The soundtracks do get old after awhile and allowing an option to upload your own MP3s onto the playlist would have been sweet.
This doesn't detract much from the game though.
-No replay cam. Would have been nice to rewatch some of the insane tricks.
I bought this game for $... at Fry's and it's worth a lot more than what I paid for.

This is a very fun game. End of story.Well, there is a bit more to it, actually: This game is not a mile stone in entertainment software. It is not going to rival games such as Rallysport Challenge, Project Gotham, or MotoGP. But it is a lot of fun to play.
It is also easy to learn, which makes this game one of the few games one can play with friends that do not normally play a lot of games. Today, most games are so sophisticated, they just don't allow serious and casual gamers to play together. This game is different! (And has a few nasty features such as kicking the other drivers off their ATV... this can add some spice to a friendly rivalry...)
Just for being a fun party game, I would give this game 5 stars. Of course, that wouldn't be quite fair to games such as Splinter Cell.
Best Deals for ATV: Quad Power Racing 2
If you like laugh-out-loud, arcade-style racers, then you'll love ATV 2.It's fast, the physics are totally spot-on, and it's just a ton of fun. Knocing other bikers off their rides, a-la Road Rash, is very satisfying, and will have you yelling at the screen with evil delight.
The graphics are smooth and beautiful, with bump mapping, specular level-mapping, and lots of road-side detail, as well as bikes that articulate and respond to the road in a very realistic manner. Each "world" in the game (there are 15) is unique not only in appearance, but in how the races within it are strategically won. Some have more twists and turns, others are wider and flatter, others still are so foggy that visibility is very short, and some depend more on obstacles suddenly smashing into view after a tight corner.
I only give the game 4 stars because:
The arcade mode makes no sense. You race against other riders, but the only thing that matters is beating the timer, so who cares? Stick to the career mode. It's much more fun.
Tricks are, well, tricky. You have to press a button while simultaneously pressing a direction on the thumbstick. Seems to me this could have been better implemented.
The other modes (Freestyle, etc.) should have been integrated into Career. This would have made Career longer and more enjoyable, and would have given the game more structure. (Hey game designers, write me a book, don't just hand me a typewriter, you know what I mean?)
This is more of a tip, but the default controls are awful. You can change them to something very functional in Options by selecting "controller one". Use "setup C".
Overall though, I in no way regret buying this game, and play it very often.
Honest reviews on ATV: Quad Power Racing 2
Don't you hate when someone makes a sequel to a already bad game?You do? Then it's time to quit hating, Climax's latest is light years better than it's ugly-as-sin predecessor and is already worthy to compete against Sony's Offroad Fury series. The visuals have taken a giantic leap forward, the tracks are more intelligently designed (but still have stupid obstacles that require no memorization to avoid), and the controls have gotten the reworking they desperately deserved. If you can live without that "other" game's online support, then this is golden.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for ATV: Quad Power Racing 2
My freinds and i played challenge taking turns for hours. In challenge you ride through courses, based on fastest time. We laughed so hard. I also own ATV Offroad Fury 1-2. Atv QP2 is fun and isn't just racing and tricks. Day 3 pro level in game I still have more to unlock. A must try. It's just that good. Rent or buy it's worth the trip.--PS- (Change the controls to type C).
