ATV Offroad Fury 3

ATV Offroad Fury 3 is the third game in the ATV Offroad Fury series, developed by Climax Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is available on PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, with the latter being released as ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails.

Overview
This game incorporates similar mechanics and modes as its predecessor, ATV Offroad Fury 2, such as the trick combo system, offline/online multiplayer modes, championships and mini-games. Free-roaming is possible across the many varied environments one can race in. The physics system is improved and a greater emphasis is placed on stunts. This installment also introduces an advanced customization system to the series that allows players to swap colors, change parts and create a custom logo. However, such a feature is not present in the PlayStation Portable port known as Blazin' Trails.

Development
This is the first game in the series to not be developed by Rainbow Studios, which departed from the series after two games in favor of developing MX Unleashed and starting the MX vs. ATV series. Developmental duties of the ATV Offroad Fury series was then passed on to Climax Studios, which had a history of developing ATV racing games with Acclaim Entertainment's ATV Quad Power Racing duology.

Release
In North America, Fury 3 was released in late 2004, with the PSP port Blazin' Trails being released about half a year later. However, in Europe, eastern US developer SouthPeak Interactive published both games simultaneously on February 10, 2006.
