A wonderful blend of casual multiplayer and intense single-player.

4x4 Evolution 2 is one of those few PC games that you just can't give up on. If you're looking for online thrills or the challenge of single-player, it's all here waiting for you. You can embark on an expedition to discover the elusive "Bythelakesaurus," try out for a team, enter a series of races, or play with up to eight other people online or through LAN.

There are drawbacks, however. In single player, if you happen to buy an upgrade, guess what--all the computer-controlled vehicles in any race you enter the the SAME EXACT UPGRADES. This completely undermines the the option to upgrade. Also, if you enter a multiplayer game in which the host has selected a custom track that you just so happen to not have, someone who knows the url has to type it in for you, then you need to switch to a different menu within the game and type in the url again!

On the other hand, it is possible to play this game through a dial-up connection. The players may experience a tiny bit of lag, but it's bearable. Also, there is an array of teams to choose from--including the Low Riders of America, wrp, and many others.

I would recommend picking up this game if you happen to see it laying on a 10- or 20-dollar shelf if you're looking for a couple of cheap thrills.

    I love this game, I cant get enough of it. So many different trucks and jeeps to choose from, so many ways to customize you vehicle. The racing mode could use a little bit of work, but the offroad missions are pretty fun... Read Full Review
