4x4 Evolution

"A very good racer!"

I first got this game for my birthday, and it was a complete surprise because I wasn't expecting it at all. I said to myself ''oh man this game isn't going to be any fun at all.'' Well I was wrong. Read on.....

Story 0/10
Like most sports or racing games they don't really follow any real story. Although in most sport/racing games you can do a career mode and make a living off of that, but has far as the story goes...well there really none.

Graphics 10/10
This is one of those few games I give tens to the graphic section. Let’s put it this way the graphics are better than Gran Turismo 3. The cars are all uniquely designed, along with tracks, houses, background, and even the garage you pick your car in!

Sound 10/10
Whoa! The first time I played this game it really felt like I was right there next to the truck! You hear the mud slapping on to your car, you hear the tires ripping up the dirt, and the motor engine humming as you race. The sound is simply awesome!

Game Play 10/10
Well here is the most important part of the whole entire game. So far you are probably saying ''yeah the game has great sound graphics, but if it has all of that it must be lacking game play''; well let me prove you wrong. First of all you get to choose from officially licensed SUVs and trucks by, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Jeep, Ford, Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, and Mitsubishi. If that doesn't get you excited then maybe this will you get to choose from 15 insanely detailed tracks with complete freedom if you just want to fool around, the tracks even have their own music score, and difficulty.

Replay Value 7/10
Yeah it’s a racer and yeah it has good replay value along with that you’re having a blast doing over and over again. Then again some people just play it to win so that’s why I just give it a seven out of ten. The replay all depends on if you like racing games or not.

Final Word:
Well I enjoyed this game, and I hope you will too. The only reason I didn’t give this game a ten out of ten is because it could’ve had better controls and maybe higher speeds, and better control.

Rent or Buy?
Buy if you like racers if not it’s better to rent!
