ATV Offroad Fury 3 is a racing video game developed by Climax Racing and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for PlayStation 2. It was released on November 2, 2004 in North America and on February 10, 2006 in Europe.
The game was succeeded by ATV Offroad Fury 4 in 2006.
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 (ATVs) 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 game also offers online play via i-Link, local area network (LAN) or other network connections.
The game contains features for customizability, such as choosing parts for ATV, changing color schemes, and even creating one's own unique logo.
Upon release in 2004, the game was well received by critics and fans of the franchise for its open world feel and advanced game physics.

ATV Offroad Fury 3 is the first game in the series not to be developed by Rainbow Studios after the company was acquired by THQ nearly a year prior to the release of Fury 2.[1] 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 Studios, 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.
ATV Offroad Fury 3 received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.
