The game is expected to begin hitting store shelves in the next few days. In 4x4 Evolution, players take control of one of more than a hundred real-world sport utility vehicles and light trucks from a variety of manufacturers, including Chevy, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Dodge, Lexus and others, each with a unique look and real feel. Players can even tweak their vehicle's characteristics to help make them race the way the player wants. Players attack 15 different off-road courses, each sporting unique track designs, obstacles, and terrain styles.
Environments range from deserts to mountains to tropical islands.
Players will have to avoid both stationary and moving objects that will block their path, while crashing through gates and fences, dodge around construction vehicles, and launching themselves over jumps, ravines, and other hazards, too. Players are encouraged to use their vehicle's off-road abilities to find shortcuts away from the tracks. Mac, PC, and Dreamcast users can all compete with one another as they vie for first place. Evolution also sports a replay mode that enables drivers to watch their races in action. The game's realistic physics engine will show the suspension of a truck or SUV jostling and bouncing, kicking up dust and dirt from the tires, reflecting glare off the vehicles windscreen, and even show the drivers themselves twisting and turning their vehicles steering wheel to stay in control.
