ATV Offroad Fury 2, Sony Playstation

The racing genre, despite all its 16-bit efforts, never really became convincing until the industry turned the way of 3D gaming. Now it's believable, and in the wake of literally thousands of racing games comes THQ's ATV Off Road Fury 2 - a free-racing extravaganza. Looking at the game's visuals, it's evident that developer Rainbow has put considerable effort into making the second instalment of Off Road Fury look as realistic as possible, whilst at the same time giving it a solid arcade feel. It looks convincing, but also possesses the vibrant colours and flashy camera movements typical of an arcade game. Getting into the game itself, ATV2 doesn't force players to follow a number of pre-set circuits a la most standard racing games. It encourages players to choose their own path, offering some 40 off-road, free-roaming environments. Naturally, the aim is to get from A to B as quickly as possible, but you must determine how you do it. The spacious locales come with varied terrain, with rivers and mountains placed as obstacles between you and your goal. Players can choose from a respectable 24 authentic ATV's and their respective riders across seven extensive game modes. Options include the obligatory time trial exercises and arcade races and there's also a multi-player option for up to four players. There's plenty to see and do in ATV Off Road Fury 2. Enjoy it.

Knight Rider
If ever a license has been crying out to be made into a game then surely it has to be Knight Rider. The shadowy flight into the world of a man who does not exist was the staple TV diet of many a kid throughout the eighties, each and every one of them dreaming that they could get behind the wheel of KITT. Well, it's taken a while but that chance is finally here, via the PlayStation 2 at least. In t...

Driv3r
It's now been five years since the last instalment in Reflections' Hollywood car chase-inspired Driver series - a time that, apart from the similarly-themed Stuntman, has been devoted to this: the much-awaited yet oft-delayed DRIV3R. Not far removed from Driver 2 - apart from a generally larger scale to the proceedings and the obvious improved visuals - the game delivers the usual addictive blend ...

Kotobuki Grand Prix
One of the industry's more obscure Japanese titles, it comes as a surprise that Kotobuki Grand Prix should make it to European shores at all. But thanks to Midas, the mini-motorbike racer has arrived on PlayStation, it's super cheap and it's a good laugh. There are several bog-eyed and severely deformed characters to play as, all of which have their own background, story and motive for racing in t...
