The Codies are up to their old tricks again. Yet another "Quattro" title means yet another themed games compilation and this time it's all about types of racing... er, except for BMX Freestyle which isn't really a race at all.

First off we have BMX Simulator 2 (which is a race). This is basically a race between four mad cyclists who fall off at alarmingly regular intervals. If you saw the first BMX Sim then you won't find anything new here.

Next comes the ATV Simulator. ATV means All Terrain Vehicle and if you don't know what that is, it's a four-wheeled motorbike with bloomin' massive knobblies [That's tyres to you and me folks! - Ed]. This one is viewed side-on and you have to regulate the speed of your ATV and the amount of lift on your front wheels in order to negotiate hazards. These include fences, icy slopes logs and so on. It's simplistic but, despite this, it's a reet rivetting play.

Championship Jet Ski comes next. Not much to say about this one except that it's like BMX Simulator, but on water.

Last comes BMX Freestyle, a series of cycle-related challenges ranging from the ludicrous 'perform a 45 foot wheelie' section to the not-so-ludicrous-but-far-more-difficult half pipe in which you cycle from one side to the other without falling off.

All the games are fairly good fun but that's all. There are four of them so there's a bit of good value to be had but don't expect to be stunned.

Despite being a bit crude, all four of these games have a strange way of keeping you playing. For this reason alone you should give them a go.
