ATV Thunder Ridge Riders / Monster Trucks: Mayhem Compilation (NDS)

Advantages: great sound of the vehicles, good selection of vehicles, many different tracks
Disadvantages: none

...i have been looking at this game for the last couple of weeks as the trailer really court my eye, i went and got this the day it came out and set me back £45 but i was not disappointed at all. the graphics are good, upgrading parts off your vehicle and you never get bored of it as there is so much to do on it. they have a great range of vehicles from 50cc pit bikes to 450cc quads and even monster trucks. what i really liked about this game is the sound of the vehicles as i think that is a big part of the game. i would recommend this game to any one and every one as i think even people who don't like driving games much will really enjoy it as there as so many tracks and modes....

High ridges tend to be good for bikes and ATVs, whereas dusty and muddy floors are better for the rally cars and trucks. The AI is quite good on this game, if you're riding a bike or driving a car then the larger vehicles will try to knock you off or force you against the rockface. If you imagine an extreme version of the Dakar rally, then you're coming close. The graphics are impressive in high-def, and the game is fast. This is purely an arcade racer, and it's great fun being able to just pick up and play. The soundtrack is of the rock variety, with a few recognisable hard hitters.
