An enhanced version for the PlayStation Portable titled ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails was released a few months later.

Gameplay

Expanding from its predecessor, ATV Offroad Fury 3 features more ATVs, along with more championships, mini-games and improved physics. As is with the rest of the series, the game revolves around racing all-terrain vehicles around dirt racetracks. In addition to racing, another major focus of the game is stunts. Stunts can be achieved by tapping a combination of buttons while the player's ATV is in the air. Each stunt requires a different amount of time to perform. The game also provides "free-roaming offroad gameplay".
The PlayStation 2 version offers online multiplayer via i-Link, local area network or other network connections. The PlayStation Portable version offers online multiplayer via a WiFi connection.
The game contains features for customizability, such as choosing parts for ATV, changing color schemes, and even creating one's own unique logo.

Development

ATV Offroad Fury 3 is the first game in the series not to be developed by Rainbow Studios as the company was acquired by THQ nearly a year prior to the release of Fury 2. As Rainbow Studios began working with THQ to develop MX Unleashed and start the MX vs. ATV series that serves as a crossover with THQ's MX trilogy, it approached Climax Racing, known for developing the ATV Quad Power Racing duology, to offer an opportunity to make another ATV racing game by continuing the Offroad Fury series.

Reception

ATV Offroad Fury 3 received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator website Metacritic.
