4x4 Evolution
4x4 is an off-road racing game. 4x4 allows you to take your favorite SUV or truck and race it in realistic off-road locations. To accurately capture the feel of off-road racing we designed the game so that there are no artificial walls to keep you on the track. In 4x4 the tracks are completely open and you can drive anywhere that your truck can take you. The game is a race from checkpoint to checkpoint. If you can find a better route than the racetrack itself, take it. In order to find out where the next checkpoint is follow the arrow. If the arrow is green you are headed in the right direction. If the arrow is red you are heading in the wrong direction. The upper left hand of the screen will show you what position you are in; your times, and what lap you are on. The map on the upper right hand side of the screen gives you a general idea of the course and where the other trucks are. Watch the map carefully as the AI does not always drive on the track. If you see an AI truck taking a short cut you might want to try it also as it may be a faster path. The lower right portion of the screen shows you your tachometer, speedometer, and gear position. Our Review: This beta version of 4x4 Evolution is a promising preview of this soon to be released off-road racing game. Basically you race a 4WD through a desert and try not to bump into too many rocks. In this demo you can race the Nissan Xterra off-road on a choice of two tracks - including up cliff faces and through fences. Most enjoyable is the fact that 4x4 has no gameplay boundaries - you can drive anywhere on the map and take sneaky shortcuts to outwit other players (including online multiplayers). Definite potential is presented in this public-test beta - the future release will be one well worth playing.
