Gameplay

There are four gameplay modes: championship, single race, time attack, and two-player. In championship mode there are six different playable characters to choose from and twelve tracks to race on. [3] [4] The tracks are separated to three different themes: desert, forest and snow. Objective is to win first place against five other computer-controlled opponents. In the time attack mode and the single race mode objective is to record a high score by time or place respectively. Two-player mode is a race between two human opponents in split screen. The game also features weather effects. [5]

Reception

ATV: Quad Power Racing received "generally unfavorable reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [6] [7] GameSpot 's Shane Satterfield wrote that for ATV enthusiasts the PlayStation version may warrant a rental but others who are only mildly into the sport will be disappointed by the game's repetitive graphics, steep learning curve, and overall lack of variety or fun. [3] IGN also gave low marks on the same console version, noting its poor racing AI, among other game's issues. [4] Game Vortex gave it a good review but said that the title will be appreciated by "hard-core" racers. [5] In Japan, where the same PlayStation version was ported and published by Acclaim Japan on December 21, 2000, Famitsu gave it a score of 21 out of 40. [11]
