Way off track. Gets boring in a couple of hours. Not so much fun.
Lets talk about some of the other problems. The water isnt the best obstacle to run into, cuz if u do, ur gonna get stuck. U cant drive in the water, not that ur suposed to but still. I do free roam most of the time cuz i like driving around looking at the mud and dirt and water....but yet again, IT GETS SO BORING! I was entertained for a couple of hours, but once u do most of the missions and do races and upgrade ur car, its really really hard and less interesting. Another thing is that if u go up a hill without a winch or box or watever, u wont get up the hill. Also, lets say if u hit a tree or something. Its not a very good reaction. I mean u just either bounce off of it, or get stuck. And the AI isnt all that great, despite bad sound effects.
LUCKILY, there was actually some life savers. I like the fact that u can play ur own music while driving. Thats pretty nice. I also like the fact of upgrades to ur car, except if u do, its like the COM reacts to it also. And 1 more thing that i like is the environments. Like this one track had some construction machines working while ur racing. Its kool cuz it s like an obstacle but it doesnt make u mad...like water or rocks.
Overall, this game is allright. However, they could have tweaked some stuff and added more missions and fix the AI. At first this game was entertaining, but it gets boring pretty fast. I know this is a very very very old game, but i just wanted to review it. If ur looking for an offroad game, look on the 360 or something. I give it a 6 out of 10.
