Freestyle mode is built on the Tony Hawk model of an arena full of jumps and
a set time limit to pull off as many tricks as you can. There are plenty
of ramps and such to catch some air to perform tricks, but there just aren't
that many tricks available. As a result this mode does not have much in
the way of long-term appeal - you've probably seen the Superman, Can Can, and
wheelies in plenty of other games before. You can string together tricks
into combos, but you just won't be able to get enough air to consistently
perform more than three or four of them.
Challenge mode comes in two flavors: ground and tower. Ground challenge
allows you to test and improve your driving skills in a series of contests like
slalom runs and long jumps. Good performances will reward you with
unlocked bikes and riders, and unlock the next challenge in the series.
Tower challenge presents a series of bridges, planks, and platforms, and
challenges you to complete each course within a certain time limit. It's
an interesting diversion, but you'll probably spend more time with the races.
ATV2 provides multiplayer support in the form of four player, split-screen racing, with or
without CPU racers, and a freestyle trick competition. There's no support
for online play on Xbox Live.
In The End, This Game Hath Been Rated:
72%. ATV: Quad Power Racing 2
falls short of being a great racer, but it does have its fun moments.
