User Rating: 7.8 | 4x4 EVO 2 XBOX
Gameplay: The overall gameplay is pretty good, but there are small things that just annoy you while playing. For example, when you run into another vehicle it is like your driving a bumper car because you just bounce off. The acceleration could be improved upon a lot I think, and also mud riding should play a much bigger part in this game. They put to much emphasis into racing and not enough into 4 wheelin. Graphics: The graphics are great, the trucks look beautiful. And the dirt, mud, sand and snow that the collect looks pretty good too. The only complaints I have here is that the debris is cheaply done, water doesn’t splash, and that there is no damage. Sound: This could be improved a lot. No matter what you drive or hope fixed up it is it always sounds the same. Personally I like my truck quiet, but there should still be an option to buy glass packs, and different exhaust systems. The ambient sounds are good, but again your trucks interaction with the environment could be improved by making the minor improvements here and there. On the plus side this game does allow for custom sound tracks. All you have to do is pause the game and select the song you want. Summary: It is worth the money if you like trucks. It is worth the money just to build the trucks up. They really do look good, and this game would have been a lot better with just some minor additions and improvements, but their lake does take away from the gamplay and sound.
