This game is very entertaining. There are a lot of races to compete in, and win.
The graphics on this are very good, beating the Playstation 1 a bit.
I personally think, that the different race views adds to this. You have a first person view, where you can see the handle bars of your quadbike.
If you are one of those who likes to aid their completion with cheats, there are many available on certain sites.
The loading times are good, so you won't be waiting minutes for the game to startup.
One bad thing whilst racing is that when you crash, you may get thrown off your quadbike, which slows you down for that moment. Also whilst crashing, it is very hard to maneuver out of the spot you are stuck in.

I'm the proud owner of a PSP and my 4 year old son loves this fact because he knows that I will let him play on it as a reward for performing chores around the house. I originally bought World Tour Soccer and he likes it, as I do; however, when I told him that he could pick the next game, he immediately requested ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin Trails. I scratched my head and wondered if he could rethink his choice. Hours later after my son went to bed, I ended up playing way longer than I expected. This game is pure fun!
There are several ways you can ride your ATV. As a single player, you can train on how to drive your 4-wheeler and perform stunts while flying through the air, race in a single event to make and break records and earn points, make your way up the ranks through Championship mode, or create your own Enduro Waypoint racetrack.
Multiplayer mode allows you to compete online with other ATV riders - through the internet (free with membership) or with others in Ad Hoc mode. As you place in these races, you earn points and trading cards (to unlock new characters, ATV's and Rider Gear). You can also keep track of your high scores as it compares to other racers. You can chat with other users, but typing is tedious (letter by letter, instead of the PSP's method which isn't that exciting but I heard a keyboard attachment is in the works). I wish there was more involvement with other racers to make it even more personable, but there is nothing else to do other than race each other.
It took a little getting used to how the controller manuevers the 4-wheeler. There are so many stunt combinations that you can perform that it's hard to keep track. Of course, during game progression, you begin to realize that it becomes more instinctive. Stunt combinations and how long you can hold them in the air will mean more points earned. If you don't complete the stunt combos by the time you hit the ground, you will pay dearly! Practice makes perfect.
Graphics are awesome and gameplay follows the laws of physics most of the time. The rider (which can be a man or woman) looks like a Crash Test Dummy when he falls. Not that I want to see blood and guts (I can get that elsewhere) but if the rider falls off his ATV or gets thrown off, I'd love to see the dirt kick up and his clothes tear, perhaps even see his (or her) helmet fling off his head. You know, add a little final touch of realism where it needed it. There is a neat spill where the rider grabs his knee in agony.
The scenery is well done and moves well with the rider. You start off with just a couple of race tracks but can unlock more as you get better and place in various races. You can ride in a huge dirt pit in the middle of the city or through the desert dunes or through an abandoned industrial plant (at least those were the ones I've managed to unlock so far). On some tracks, you can even see the audiences faces cheer you on as you zoom past them. I even managed to ride alongside a freight train that was running beside the track. Nice touches.
Now the audio portion of this game is limited. I mean, you can only listen to the buzzing sound of an ATV for so long. ATV Offroad Fury includes 36 music tracks of intense music that well supplements the racing experience. Artists such as Joan Jett, Good Charlotte, Less Than Jake, and Slipknot have contributed some well themed songs to make the whole racing experience entertaining. There is a jukebox included in this game if you want to hear the selected songs (which are great to listen to through headphones). There is also a scan button that will check your memory stick's music folder and add any additional music to the jukebox. This is a cool feature that will allow you to enjoy your own tracks while you make tracks! There is also a movies section that will allow you to replay the intro movie that play when you launch the game. There are other videos that are currently locked, perhaps a cheat code (which you can enter in another part of the menu) or another achievement will allow me to see the rest. It looks promising!
You can custom design your ATV and uniform with various stickers, colors, and accessories. When you earn enough credits, you can upgrade your ATV with better tires, shocks, or just get a new one altogether. I've earned (unlocked) two ATV's so far.
Overall, this game made me really appreciate the potential of not just this game but what the PSP can really do when game programmers utilize all the multimedia features of this game console.
ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin Trails earns my respect and I regret not agreeing with my son that this game is really cool. There is so much more to this game that I haven't even mentioned. It's definitely worth renting to get a good taste off the ATV action. Don't blame me if you get hooked!

The game is pretty good. The tracks are nice, but sometimes it is hard to pull off alot of tricks. It's really hard to gain a good lead on the other drivers too. Makes you want to race more than do any tricks. -_-

The controls take a bit getting used to but once you learn you'll be blazing trails, pullin' Endo's and jumping all over this. I hated the tracks but the game really shines in the wide open spaces. In addition, this game has loads of hot tracks. But that's not all, the graphics are really tight and it's a good value if you can find it used. Overall it's a good buy but if you looking for an all out racer I would suggest Ridge Racer and if you have that, Midnight club Dub.

The game is hard, very hard, very, very, very hard. In all fairness this is not my type of game and I don't claim to be an expert at racing games, unless you are talking about GTA. I only hoped that it would be playable to the amature gamer. This game is not. With that said the game is great.
The graphics are smooth, the action is fast and the playability is excellent. As I have not yet found anyone else with this game to play against I can not commet on that aspect of the game. Load times are accptable when compared against other PSP games and the ability to load your own songs is a nice. I would recommend this game if you are tring to make your gaming dollar streach. Not the best but could have been alot worse.

This game is really good looking. I've played may share of the single player stuff. I've modified the uni and bike for my player. It's kick butt.
I've even had the opportunity to play against people online a time or two. I want to do this a lot more. Problem is, there's never anyone on there playing. This game looks deep and I want to get into it.

This game is by far the best for PSP. That is if you like bustin tricks at high speeds. The graphics are stunning, you won't believe your eyes. The sound is like a live rock concert.

Loading times can take a bit long. Graphics are pretty good, and the game plays fairly easily. It took a while for me to get a hang of it but now it's very fun.

This thing is almost an exact copy of ATV:OF3 for PS2, all the way down to the slow steering problem. For some reason, though, I enjoy playing this one much more than the PS2 version. But, I'll probably trade this in toward an ATV game for PSP by Rainbow Studios, if there ever is one. Their ATV 1 and 2 for PS2 kicked butt.

Fun game to play, many gamemodes, lots of people online, very nice interface and online structure. The only thing missing is a headset. Best online PSP game until now. A must have in my opinion even if you're not a fan of the genre.

Its an awesome game, the best online features out of all the PSP online games, but probably the most frusturating in terms of difficulty. I wanted to destroy my PSP after losing for the thousanth time! Overall, it IS a fun game, just very hard.

Well this for me has been long awaited. I am a fan of the Off-road Fury series, and was waiting for this one. I have had it on preorder for months. I wanted it bad enough I preordered a second copy for my son so i could try all the online features as soon as I got it!
Single player mode
This mode is very close to the PS2 version (ATV Offroad Fury) The differences are great! It has more addons and unlockables than any of the other console series it follows. The mini games are playable in single or multi player modes, and items collected in single player can be used in multi player modes.
Multi Player
This is where Blazin' Trails is going leaps and bounds over its big brother console versions. You can play mini games, free roaming courses you create, or race the tracks that were pre created. You can link to your hot spot, and play anyone online and weed out who you want to play by skill level, area, or just by who you want to play against by setting up a buddy list (yes, IGNORE is an included feature). When playing with friends, you can wager cards/items collected from your single player modes. This game is deep!
Some of the bonus features include cards, minigames, and a new "credits" system. In the credits system you can use your credits to buy new items as before, but with the new addition of music videos. Not really a prioity, but fun and cool nonetheless.
Another great feature comes from the online connection. You can race against the 10 fastest racers in the world ranks!!!! Well, not really. But you race their ghosts, or your ghost if you are lucky enough to beat one and take their place!
Tag ball
Play a game of tag with ATVs, and a basketball. The person who has it is the only one to score points, so if you dont have the ball steal it from your opponent!
King of the hills
Jump various hills and do stunts. The person with the highest score off that hill has a tag placed on it. Steal someones already tagged hill by scoring more trick points off of it than they did! The most hills owned wins.
Hockey
The same game as in ATV3 for the PS2
Basketball
Do you really need a description????
Soccer
C'mon really?????
Graveyard Madness
Chase down and collect ghosts while racing in a graveyard. Crash or run into an opponent and lose some or all of your ghosts!
Treasure hunt
Free roam around in search of coins collect more than your opponent to win.
Beach tagger
Same as king of the hill, just in a beach setting.
Rings of fire
Race against the clock and your oppnent to get through the most rings possible (free roaming)
Bomb Dodge
Pick up bombs and hold on as long as you can! your opponents will try to take it from you the longer you hold it the more points you get. The fun part comes when the bomb is getting ready to go off, toss it at one of your oppenents to blow them up! Or in my case I usually hold on too long. No points for blowing yourself up!
To sum it all up, this is a great, fun, deep and impressive game. Never have I seen a handheld racer so deep! It has been an amazingly fun 48 hours!!!! (so far)

If anyone has played ATV:Offroad Fury 3 for PS2 then they will really enjoy it portible because it is the same game but that somewhat detracts from the rating but it is still overall great.
