Description

Welcome to the dirt-grinding, real-world racing of 4x4 Evolution 2. You will explore, rescue, and compete through three new career modes. First pick a base truck in which to compete in a series of off-road races, then win fast cash to deck out your truck with a an inventory of more than 90 real-world parts to increase your power. There are over 32 expansive, outdoor courses set in a variety of locations around the world. Trek into jaw-dropping environments and mission-based adventures, including the search and rescue of a downed plane in the Grand Canyon and the discovery of a lost Mayan city in a Central American jungle. 4x4 Evolution 2 is easy to learn but hard to master, allowing for satisfying, long-lasting gameplay. The AI engine is diabolical and ruthless, crushing in your passenger door while overtaking you for the lead, and the spoils. There are 70-plus masterfully detailed sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) and four-by-fours. You will be in control of a customized, high-horsepower, multi-thousand-pound beast, with such a realistic physics control system that the terrain is no longer beautiful scenery--it is the enemy.

Evolution 2 rocks

this game rules with all the different places to drive and all the different trucks to drive. This game also has great graphics.

One of the reasons I bought an Xbox

I Loved 4x4 Evo, so naturally i wanted to try version 2. Finally had an opportunity to purchase an xbox and well this game is darn cheap at costco so what the heck.
The game hasn't changed too much from the first version. Now teams are available which is a nice toucha nd the cars and track list is increased.
The same gripe I had about the first game still applies though. When you purchase an upgrade the computer automatically gets it. If you are winning races and thus earning money, shouldn't the computer have to do the same? Essentially, the rule of thumb is only mod your truck to things you need to be a bit more competative, but not to make a monster truck. Once you have everything you'd want in a truck, the computer is sure to beat you.
Where this game really shines is in two player mode. Computer can't cheat this way, and its just you and a buddy beating up a couple of trucks. Lets face it, its pretty fun to beat up your own SUV and not have to worry about repair bills.
The fully open courses also make the game very fun. In free drive mode, you can practice the courses, and plan for the short cuts which are mandatory if you want to win some races.
Definitely worth the price I bought it for...

AI opponents are invinsible - even after 100K of mods!

O.K. Godgames and Rockstar games did a few things right in this game - but ultimately they failed to produce a playable game. The load times are very lengthy. The menu is needlessly cluttered. In career mode there are 5 AI oppoenent vehicles. It is COMPLETELY impossible to out-accelerate the top car/truck regardless of mods - so the only way to get 1st-place is a lot of luck followed by a straightaway on the last lap - forget skills. For some reason it is TOTALLY impossible to nudge an AI oppoenent out of your way - forget everything you know about physics - going 110 mph and slam into an AI car - you lose he's fine - AI car going 40 and hits you - you are in the ditch my friend. Oh and lets talk about the shoulder of these race tracks! You can and will get STUCK on every little thing. Most games don't make you reverse from behind obstacles - they just penalize your speed - not this game. Trust me - this game deserve awards for its ability to cause needless aggravasion - shame on the Quality Assurance at Godgames and Rockstar games - this would have NEVER gotten by me!
