Reception

"ATV Quad Power Racing" was received poorly by critics. GameSpot's Shane Satterfield wrote that for ATV enthusiasts the game may warrant a rental but other who are only mildly into the sport will be disappointed by the game's repetitive graphics, steep learning curve, and overall lack of variety or fun. IGN also gave low marks saying that "This game has little to know balance, very poor racing AI and never really gets past go...or is that Start". Game Vortex gave a good score of 86 out of 100 but still concluded the review that "my final call on ATV Quad Power Racing is that it's an acquired taste for most people, even hard-core racers".
