All of the maps in Fury 1 can be subdivided into nine zones, and each zone can basically be viewed as a unique tile which determines terrain (including the distinct paths across it) and (presumably) foliage. They are huge (later games cut down the size of the map, with fury 2 having maps half the size of fury 1), and some of them contain great scenery objects to decorate them (I personally prefer the third map myself since it balances level geography and scenery objects the best with the fourth map coming a close second the rest feel too desolate with a lack of foliage or scenery objects).Īn interesting quirk about the maps is the fact that all of them (while bigger than 2's) copy-paste geography in some areas. 5/10.This set of maps on the original game is the main reason of these game's lasting appeal. This game only exists to profit from an established franchise, without contributing a shred of originality. I want to be able to use the right stick to use the camera so I can see my surroundings.

I want an unlockable quad that has a rocket on it. Take a lesson from Rockstar, free-roaming is what we want. It does nothing to push the envelope, or further the genre. You can see things all around you that would be great to ride your imaginary ATV onto, but you cannot, because of the uninspired mediocrity of this game. Where is the freedom of quad riding? The textures, art, and environments are bland at best, which makes the exploration aspect of quad riding dull and pointless. So I have established that the new moves are realistic and appropriate additions, so what went wrong? The stages feel contained, like you can only ride in a circular area. The wheelies and stoppies are also great. You can power-slide around turns, and bicycle up on two side wheels, just like a real quad. I wish Rainbow would come back, and bring the magic back to video game quad riding. Playing this one, (as both an avid quad rider and video game dork) is like having a quad land on your chest. The first was the reason I bought a PS2, the second was a beautiful refinement that had all sorts of extras and reasons to keep playing. Sorry, this third installment just doesn’t do it for me. you wont be disappointed by the game play. i do however suggest to pick this game up if your into riding. every other aspect of this installment is better than the first two but because of no big name brand support i have to give this game the good rating instead of the excellent rating. this still however isnt as satisfying as riding the quad from the company you want. if you want a brand specific ride then the closest thing you can do is pick your ride and try and paint match the color scheme as dictated by the manufacturers. they have however managed to make some of the rides on fury 3 look VERY similar to certain quads. the quads on fury 3 dont bear any manufactures names so picking a ride based on brand is impossible. we all know how brand specific riders can be.

customizing your ride is also now even easier to use and allows you to paint your quad and rider to stand out from the crowd. gaining new parts give you a reason to bust moves and tricks to earn credits so you can tune your way to the top. on previous games the adjustment options were sketchy at best and left something to be desired, on fury 3 they are easier to use and allow the purchase of new exhausts and tires which greatly effect how you quad handles in the different terrain types. another greatly improved feature is the garage option. with more tracks than ever before and even larger maps you can literally get lost in any one of the 25+ tracks and terrain types avalible. another great thing about this version is the MASSIVE amount of ground to be covered. the game play has been greatly improved since the second installment of the series, including longer air time, the ability to power slide your quad, and loads of new tricks to do to gain points including ground stunts. the genie didnt grant my entire wish much to my disappointment. having owned fury 2 i was hoping for all the best worked over and the bad left behind. i had heard good things about this game and decided to buy it.
