Video Game Review: Box10 ATV 5
Free on-line video games are, for the most part, disappointing. So it was with very low expectations that I clicked on a link for Box10 ATV 5. What can I say…I’m can’t turn down anything ATV-related.
My main complaint with most of these games is that they’re just too easy. At first it didn’t seem as if ATV 5 would be any different. The first few levels of this 10-level game went by in a flash. Sure, I crashed and burned a time or two, but mostly because I was trying to rush through it so my co-workers wouldn’t make fun of me for playing.
Like most flash-based ATV games, the controls were very simple – just the arrow keys. The game revolves around climbing up and down large and small rocks and hills. You can certainly do a blackflip in most areas, but I didn’t notice any reward for doing so. There was a points system, but I had neither the time or desire to figure out how to accumulate more points.
The bottom line is that this game is a good time waster. It won’t amaze you with its realism or graphics, but it is a good way to kill 20 minutes.

I left to join VerticalScope, Inc., one of the world's largest online publishers, to start a number of powersports publications. While at VerticalScope, I've helped create and oversee content for a wide variety of different publications, including ATV.com, Off-Road.com, ArcheryTalk.com, Tractor.com, RVGuide.com, and many more.
