Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You and 12 trucks battle it out with brute force in an off-road race to reign supreme over some of nature's most untamed environments. Test Drive Off-Road: Wide Open delivers "go-anywhere" racing set in three rugged locations: Moab, Utah; Yosemite, California; and Big Island, Hawaii. Each off-road environment boasts its own hazards, which range from deadly rockslides to distracting waterfalls to devastating volcanoes.

With Test Drive Off-Road: Wide Open, you can choose your vehicle from a stable of 13 of the roughest off-road trucks ever licensed, including the Hummer. You can also customize your rig with paint and parts upgrades. You'll confront high-speed jumps, wild shortcuts, and serious off-road obstacles. Gameplay includes more than 10 races and events per location, with three different checkpoint-style race modes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, February 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Test Drive Off Road (Video Game)

This is the best racing game for the PS2 that you can buy if you want to go off roading, jump some hills, and basically have the time of your life. You get the following cars: Chevy Blazer(the big one, not the S-10 version)and Silverado, Dodge Durango and Ram-2500( the truck is actually A 1500), Hummer Soft top, Hummer Wagon, Jeep CJ-5 and Wrangler, Ford Bronco and F-150,. This game truly has off- road supremacy.The " Free Roam" feature is truly one of the most expansive I have ever seen, seemingly limitless in space. The three areas, Yosemite, a forest locale, Hawaii, complete with beaches and an active volcano, and Moab, a sandy place with many fun jumps. Most would say that the game lacks the true realism that is deserving of such a title. I say, Who cares?
I am not a racing game fan, but this is one game that I can play for hours on end. If you want strict realism, get GT3. I have it and it does a very commendable job of simulating real life tolerances. But if you just want some fun, with no explosions, just high-flying jumps, and getting extremely dirty, get this A.S.A.P.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT!, September 3, 2001

I Love this game.The graphics are nothing special in this game but it doesnt matter because the game play is so great. You get to choose from 13 different trucks and hummers and you race them all over these massive levels. Though theres only 3 levels ive been playing for days and i havent found everything yet. The trucks in the game are great once you start unlocking the pimped out versions. And theres 4 other cars you can unlock i have unlocked 2 so far (the hummvee and the shelby durango) the humvee is extremely fast on the jumps and tough terrian where the shelby is not, but on straitways the shelby can hit 160 which is about 40 mph faster than any of the other cars. The game starts out fairly easy but once you hit the 4th season it gets real hard which is fun because you have to learn to spin out the computer trucks better than they do it to you which happens alot. All in all this game is great if you love original games and its fun to play tag with a friend in free roam so i think fun factor alone gives this game 5 stars. But just to warn you this doesnt have the graphics or the realism that gran turismo 3 has but its ok because gt3 is too realistic and i hate that game.

if your looking for a game with a lot of fun factor, then this is it! I like the looks of games like gt, but when it comes to the fast paced arcadey feel TDOR does it. I felt the makers of this game went for the jumps and fast paced racing that makes you want to do have fun with it, and it has a steady progression level that keeps it challenging. I thought this game had the right amount of realism, but didn't take themselves too seriously so that the enjoyment would suffer.
