Strengths: Multiplayer & Online Features
Weakness: Graphics, Controls
ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails is exactly the same idea as the ATV Offroad games on the Playstation 2 but how does it fare on the PSP is what's important.
The Graphics ain't bad but they ain't as detailed as they could have been. The framerate can suffer at times and it's very noticeable that you can't see nearly as far ahead as you can in the Playstation 2 games. Also the controls are very tough so at time you can make a small mistake and pay for it in a big way putting you the racer behind drastically for a mistake that you shouldn't have been so severely punished for. While the game overall is rough and kind of feels like it was still a work in process with polishing up the graphics and controls it does do a really good job with the online play.
I would recommend renting before buying ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails as with the touchy controls it's better suited for more expert players.

TopStrengths: Control, graphics, gameplay
Weakness: Lack of people to play on-line
I just got this game this morning after debating on whether or not to buy it for months. I must say, I am glad that I bought it. It is just as good as the console versions and the controls are spot on. Do yourself a favor and buy this game NOW

TopStrengths: Cool graphics, loading is quick.
Weakness: If your not a fan of racing, this game really isnt going to make you change your mind :-P
Fun ATV game that was one of the launch titles to hit the PSP. For a launch game, this game was actually done pretty well. But if you look at this game compared to other racing games out for the psp you can already tell this game looks a little dated. If you can pick this game up on the cheap, try it out :-)

TopStrengths: variety of tracks, graphics
Weakness: difficulty level
If you are expecting a pick up and play ATV game, this is not the game for you. This game is hard and very unforgiving. You will want to throw your psp everytime you crash and mess up a trick.
A lot of patience is needed to fully enjoy the game. But once you get the hang of it and master the controls, you will be very pleased with the game.
The game does look very good---almost as good as the ps2 ones. The one thing I hate about this game and most other psp games are the awful loading times and battery life.

TopStrengths: nice graphic
in the beginning I was not used to the controlling, but after some more practice, I'm pretty good at the game now. It's fun and not very difficult, you can spend a lot of time on the game without getting tired of it. The price is very reasonable as well.

TopStrengths: good graphics, long game length, online multiplayer
Weakness: weak controls, long load times
ATV Offroad is a good port of the console versions. You can now race on a portable format with tons of fun. The game has lots of unlockables for you to unlock, ensuring you'll be playing this game for a while. It is also one of the small batch of PSP games to offer online multiplayer, allowing you to play against people across the nation. The racing is just like the console versions, although the controls might be a bit troubling, especially with the PSP analog nub. Some load times here and there detract the game experience as well. Other than that, this game is pretty good and now it's yours on portable format

TopStrengths: Nice graphics, lots of unlockables, wireless online multiplayer
Weakness: Touchy controls, long loading times
ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails brings the classic Playstation ATV franchise to the PSP. If you are a fan of the console version of these games you will most likely like everything about the portable version. It features the same great graphics that we've come to expect in this series and all the standard jumps and tricks that make these games so great. There are an insane amount of unlockables ranging from new ATV's, new upgrades, and new tracks. There is a nice amount of customization, but the main point of these games is the racing. The game offers a really nice sense of speed, but there is a very high learning curve. The controls are pretty touchy and I can't count the amount of times I just went flying off the track when I first started playing. Once you get used to how the ATV's handle though, it is a very enjoyable portable racer. The biggest fault the game has is extremely long load times. Sometimes these load times can stretch into the 2 minute range which really cuts down on your ability to just play a quick game. Overall, it's a fun racer that offers a gamers a nice change in pace from all the standard car racing games.

TopStrengths: Nice graphics, unlockables, multiplayer
Weakness: Not nearly as refined as the console versions
ATV OffRoad Fury: Blazin' Trails is one of the classic games on the PSP.... and it falls into the classic problems. On the one hand, it's an excellent racing game in and of its own right--it has nice graphics, a pile of different ATVs to unlock (one warning, it'll take you ten hours or more to even get close to unlocking the really cool ones), a variety of tracks, and so on. The Wi-Fi multiplayer is, in particular, very nice and a great way to pass time with the friends. The only con to the game is that it's just not nearly as great as the console versions that are available on the PS2... that being said, for fans of the series, this is a great version and worth your money... but keep in mind that if you're at home, you might as well just play the superior console games.

Proven fact: any first-party game that was released on PS2 within the first 12 months of its release must be released on PSP within its first 12 months. Who cares if it's good for the goose or the gander, 'cause it's good for gamers, especially those who realize that these aren't merely a bunch of thrown-together ports. ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails is a semi-sequel with a lot of tracks, both...

ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin Trails (Now a Greatest Hits)
Strengths: One of the first games on the PSP
Weakness: Crash too easily when racing, controls are touchy.
I picked this game up because it was a Greatest Hits, but was disappointed. I am not a fan of ATVs or racing games, but this one was just boring. Graphics were weak too, very pixelated. Steering is very touch and easy to crash when playing. If you like racing games, go pick up something like Burnout Legends. If you really LOVE ATVs then get this game on sale. I couldn't play this game more than 10 minutes before I got bored.
