Review: 4x4 Evolution

4x4 Evolution has plenty of cool features?beautiful tracks that let you roam freely, nearly every pickup and SUV on the market, adjustable steering?yet the racing is straightforward and, because of wimpy sound effects and a limited number of opponents, sometimes even dull.

4x4 Evolution has plenty of cool features?beautiful tracks that let you roam freely, nearly every pickup and SUV on the market, adjustable steering?yet the racing is straightforward and, because of wimpy sound effects and a limited number of opponents, sometimes even dull. The coolest part of this game is that you can drive anywhere, but this is deceptive since you still must hit every checkpoint?and the checkpoints all straddle the road, so 4x4 is really a straightforward racer in off-road clothing. And, while the later tracks are challenging, career mode requires that you race the same handful of tracks again and again, with only the daylight and weather changing?sometimes. You can play online, too, but races are limited to four competitors even in single-player, so you?re often the only vehicle in sight.
