4X4 Evolution - Pre-Played | EBgames.com


Overview

Terminal Reality proudly presents 4x4 Evolution, an arcade-style, 4x4 off-road simulation for your PlayStation 2. 4x4 Evolution puts virtual drivers behind the wheel of their favorite real world SUV and/or truck and challenges them to race through a variety of detailed off-road environments.

4x4 Evolution takes gamers for a rough off-road ride through a total of 15 courses, each with its own distinctive design, music score and difficulty level. In addition to contending with the other vehicles, players will be challenged by a variety of variables such as gates, trees, and tractors in junkyards or on-coming traffic in construction zones. Virtual drivers choose their own path as they begin with a base truck and compete in a series of off-road races to win cash. Drivers can stop and rewind the action through a playback feature and can view the whole race again from multiple camera angles, and even different racers' perspectives.

Here are a few reasons to play 4x4 Evolution:

Offroad Action
Taking the term "off road" to the extreme, gamers can drive anywhere within each of the 15 gorgeous vast areas which replicate zones from painted deserts to treacherous mountaintops to tropical island chains. A race course consists of checkpoints strewn along the countryside. Drivers choose their own paths while negotiating whatever terrain lies between Point A and Point B.

Real Vehicles
4x4 Evolution's 70+ licensed vehicles are incredibly detailed and accurate versions of their real-life counterparts. From tailgate to brush guard, each 4x4 in the game looks and drives exactly like it does on (and off!) the road. A truck's personality and performance is subject to its owner's whims as well. Drivers buy their truck at the showroom, but competition purses and hidden treasures stashed in the outback will provide drivers with the funds they need to buy upgrade parts and equipment such as heavy-duty off-road suspension, brush guards, performance exhaust, and special off-road racing tires. And if a 4x4 just isn't performing to its driver's standards, it can always be taken to the garage for some in-depth tweaking.

Serious Competition
The competition in 4x4 Evolution doesn't cheat--it doesn't have to. Instead of adhering to preset racelines, the game's expert AI drivers navigate the courses just like the gamers, from checkpoint to checkpoint, only faster and smarter. These ruthless drivers can analyze and react to any driving situation and will take every opportunity to slam gamers off course to ensure them of one less contender for the trophy.

Insane Graphics
4x4 Evolution's visuals scream with realism, with shadows reflecting the time of day (four from which to choose), three different weather conditions, highlights glinting from polished chrome and fresh showroom paint, and the sun dazzling and blinding drivers as it peeks through looming crests. Splats of debris and mud erupt through thick clouds of road dust, and amazing wakes and rooster tails disturb the glassy surface as trucks crash through rivers and streams.

Real World Physics
Each of the courses is thickly populated with objects and obstacles, some that move under their own power, and some that require a nudge. Terminal Reality's real-time, real-world physics modeler was used for everything from the farm fences drivers blow through to the powerful express locomotives that stop for no one. Trucks feature super-accurate suspensions that dip and react to every mogul and sinkhole. Drivers will find themselves leaning to anticipate hard turns and steering for all they're worth as they rock and jolt along with the unforgiving terrain.
