ATV Offroad Fury received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen said that "the game sports brilliant graphics, a (mostly) rock-solid framerate, intense tracks, a plethora of options, and excellent control." Air Hendrix of GamePro said that the game "will reward offroad racing fans with gameplay and challenges that definitely suit their interests. If that's not you, though, you should probably rent Fury to see if it's a ride you'll enjoy."{{cite magazine |author=Air Hendrix |url=https://retrocdn.net/images/2/2f/GamePro_US_151.pdf#page=85 |title=ATV Offroad Fury |magazine=GamePro |publisher=IDG |issue=151 |date=April 2001 |page=83 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050207082017/http://gamepro.com/sony/ps2/games/reviews/11129.shtml |archivedate=February 7, 2005 |url-status=live |accessdate=March 7, 2024}}{{efn|GamePro gave the game three 4/5 scores for graphics, sound, and control, and 3.5/5 for fun factor.}}
