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. And if a 4x4 isn't performing to its driver's standards, it can always be taken to the garage for some in-depth tweaking. Instead of adhering to preset racing lines, 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. 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.
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. 4x4 EVO has received fantastic praise from the gaming and consumer press.
