“Everything fans love about the original game is bigger, badder and better in American Chopper 2 Full Throttle,” said Dave Oxford, Activision, Inc. “Players participate in a high octane adventure to build the ultimate custom chopper while managing all the conflicts, pressure and drama that their favorite TV show characters experience.”

With three times the number of parts than in the first game, American Chopper 2 Full Throttle allows the player maximum customization.
