MX vs. ATV Unleashed now for the PSP Handheld

Posted on Dec 2, 2008 02:14:36 PM

There are many genres of games that haven’t found their way to the PlayStation Portable yet, but racing certainly isn’t one among them. There are tons of racing titles for the PSP, and MX vs. ATV Unleashed: On the Edge adds to that list. It is an extension of the original MX vs. ATV Unleashed that was released for current gen consoles last year.

The PSP version isn’t as perfect as everyone hoped it would be, but it still has some amazing stuff in it that will keep you gaming for a long, long time. Any Motocross or ATV fan will tell you that this game is amazing to play, and will keep you entertained for a long time to come.

The tracks are a pleasure to ride on, and you’ll find that developers Rainbow studios have captured every part of the real ATV experience and shoved it into a PSP in MX vs. ATV: On the Edge. Tracks are almost the same ones featured on the console version, with the exception of eight custom tracks built for the PSP exclusively.

The game features free roam in the countryside as well as practice circuits, and some amazing races with worthy AI opponents which will get your adrenaline pumping.

On the edge is quite pleasing visually, and has great visuals for a PSP title. Riders and their bikes are animated and modeled quite well, and environment has been detailed quite well, with an exception to the ground, which could have been textured better.

The game faces some problems when it comes to presentation, like poor loading times and lack of any type of auto save feature, and no prompt to manually save either.

The game is provides a lot of fun gameplay and tons of excitement, but the presentation faults will cost. Overall experience when you’re actually playing the game is brilliant, with some great track designs and rider animations. This is a must have title for all motocross and ATV fans alike, and it’s one of the better games in the PSP library of racing games, which isn’t exactly a small one. IF you’re willing to give the game enough time to load, this game is for you.

Posted on Sep 19, 2008 03:49:54 PM

ATV Offroad Fury Pro is an awesome racing based game for the PSP fans, and especially so for PSP racing fans. This version is the successor to the old ATV Offroad, and is loaded with lots of new features, vehicles, gameplay modes, tracks and stunning visuals.

Developed by Climax Studios, and released by Sony Entertainment, this one lives up to the expectations of even the most demanding and critical gamer. Whether you are playing in the single player mode, or competing in a multiplayer battle, you will feel excited because of the variety of different ways you can make your opponent eat the dust.

Thanks to the improved AI and game control, which was rather awkward in the older version of this racing maniac, things have gotten better and more intense. ATV Offroad Fury Pro offers the player complete control over the vehicles. You will find it easy to handle the fast-paced four wheelers with the D pad on your PSP. This game offers different types of racing machines, which all go completely crazy as soon as you activate the acceleration. You will get ride bikes, buggies, trucks, snowmobiles and ATVs. There are also some additions with respect to the race types.

The concept in the new version is overall quite similar to the old version. You can earn money by performing well in the races and winning the cups. If you prove yourself as an extremely good racer, then you may attract some sponsors towards you, which naturally speeds up the cash inflow. This hard earned money can be utilized to upgrade your racing machines and further improve your performance.

Onto the technical aspects, where Offroad Fury Pro is very smooth. One noticeable improvement in this version is its visuals. The draw distance has been improved a lot. However, at times you may see some graphics getting distorted, with small windows popping in and out, but this isn’t ever a major distraction. The track designs are good and the surroundings are also created with utmost precision. The whole racing environment looks like a real life racing grid. The game sounds are also very realistic sounding and high quality. If you liked the first one, then you are guaranteed to like this one twice as much.
