The parts you get can either just be new looks, or can change the various stats of your vehicles like power, traction, suspension, handling, brakes, and lastly stunts. Changing nearly every facet of them to make a Frankenstein monster of a bike or ATV. While for your rider, it’s just cosmetic, your vehicles are another story. With the money you get from events, you can use it to get new vehicles, get new clothing for your rider, and even new parts for your vehicles.

Events that you chose all let you choose the course to do the event in, and while the game has a decent number of courses, the most interesting ones are locked behind DLC.

If none of that is your speed, you can also just do free play events with no penalties. Single Plays can be restarted ad-nauseum to get higher scores with no penalties, but a series requires you to play all of the events, and do your best on that one attempt per event. Standard races, Nationals, Arena races, waypoint races, open races, freestyles, etc… There’s a nice variety of events to attempt, which can be alone and in a series. The main meat of the game is the events you can play. Outside of collectables, unless you just really like driving around doing nothing, you probably won’t be spending much time in the open world. ATVs are much more manageable, they are easier to control, but Motocross drives much faster and in turn makes it easier to perform stunts because of the speed. Choosing between ATV or Motocross for just driving or events, it’s up to you. The game is front loaded with in my opinion a bit much in terms of tutorials, but once those are done you’re free to do as you please without just being guided to them.

The game gets to driving around pretty fast, with an open hub for you to freely drive around in.

Fastforward to 2020, and we have the latest in the series on the Nintendo Switch. I remember the first game fifteen years ago, thought it was really fun. ATV series is the one racing game franchise that refuses to die.
