5.0 out of 5 stars Way better then I anticipated!, April 4, 2001

This review is from: 4X4 EVO (Video Game)

I really only purchased the game for my love of bulky SUVs and 4x4 Trucks. I read a few previews of the game that were not very good. After bringing the game home today, I hurried to my room and played it. To my surprise, the game was very pleasing. The graphics were very nice and very smooth. The replay after the race has stunning graphics, during the game there is nothing that blows you away but they are fine anyways. The biggest strength of the game is its career mode where you enter contests, championships and different cups to win money. You need to win money in order to beef up your truck. After your truck is beefed up with nice tires etc... you can buy from a huge list of REAL suv trucks and 4x4 trucks. Basically, the game has everyone you can think of. Only a few are left out. I haven't tried the two player mode or time trial yet, mainly doing a nice career. I found that once you get behind in a race, it is really really hard to even catch back up. I slightly fixed this problem by putting the opponent difficulty on easy. I consider this game the grand turismo of truck racing simply because of all the licensed vehicles it has. If you enjoy driving the bulky trucks rather then the slick fast cars, then I recommend this game. Otherwise, the gameplay may be a little too slow for those of you into the fast racing cars.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this game!, July 2, 2001

I had became bored with the game, because I didn't realize you could go way off course and find fun stuff to do. Those who were bored with the game probably thought you had to stay on the track and play nice. I am also pleased by the selection of vehicles in the game. I drive a 4x4 Tacoma, it was nice to finally be able to drive one in a game. I've heard some people thought the computer opponents were too hard, but I've found the secret is knowing when to use 4x4 Low vs 4x4 High or even 2wd. The selection of courses to drive is about the same as other racing games but the first thing to do is head off the marked path and see what secrets you can find. I hope we see more free-roaming games like this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I thought, August 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: 4X4 EVO (Video Game)

I loved this game since the first time I rented it. You can buy almost any make of suv and there are so many parts you can purchase to make it better. The parts include 1 to 14 inch lift kits, brush guards, different tires, gear boxes, etc. Another pro is the graphics are incredable and it seems life-like.
I would not reccomend this game for kids under 13 because this is not just a game that you pick up and start racing. In this game you buy a suv and build on to it. Each time you win a race you win money. You have to be a little patient.
