ATV Quad Power Racing 2
Acclaim’s ATV: Quad Power Racing 2, a four-wheeled extreme sports racing title, unfortunately doesn’t mean four times the fun.
XB 02/07/2003 7.0 6.5
ATV Quad Power Racing 2
ATV Quad Power Racing 2 is a solid performer for the PS2; it just lacks the elements to make it an outstanding racing game

Is it possible to bend air?  Maybe a tougher question would be is if it is possible to create a great video game based on a Nickelodeon franchise?

While many Nicktoons games have been successful in their genre of choice, The Burning Earth is stuck in between action and RPG purgatory
