What's more, there are modes, tracks, vehicles and events that you can't unlock unless you also happen to own a PSP and Climax's ATV offering on that platform, which you have to connect via USB cable to open up.
Forget practicing your tracks before starting the championship, as they're usually not available. Long gone are the days of not sweating if you lose your memory card saves. The next trend is that a ridiculous amount of the game's content is locked up tight when you first fire it up. I guess if you need a soap opera going on in the background, this mode's for you.
I always thought coming in first was motivation enough to jump into a race. You start as a quitter who's trying to rebuild your reputation on the tracks by doing the exact same things you do in the standard single-player modes, but with the added bonus of corny cut scenes to advance said "story." It's just another hub in the interface to which to attach more unlockables. There are a few rather lame trends that have taken a foothold in racing games of late that are in attendance here as well. It's not bad, per se it's just not very original or inspired.ĭespite adding new vehicles and tracks, an unnecessary Story mode, and more ways to tweak your ride, ATV Offroad Fury 4 feels like a retread or an expansion pack more than a real sequel, with artificial intelligence in its opponent racers that may very well have you quitting before you put a dent in everything you have to unlock. They seem content just refreshing that new car smell in a series that now adopts a jack-of-all-trades approach with the fourth iteration, diluting the gameplay by trying to do too many things to an average degree rather than take any one of them in a new direction. Rainbow had some good ideas in the first couple of Fury games, and they continue to toss in new twists with their titles, while Climax's efforts are geared largely at merely recreating prior success and putting the yearly sequel polish on their work. ATV games and Climax taking the reins of the former series under Sony's banner. It seems as if there's a glut of offroad racing games out there lately, what with Rainbow Studios stepping away from the ATV Offroad Fury series to do their own thing again with the MX vs.
