![]() ![]() ![]() Hell, why not include the "Ford Explorer Sport - Blue" and the "Ford Explorer Sport - Red" as "unique models"? Ford certainly doesn't claim to offer 20 SUVs, so why should Terminal Reality make that claim? Probably because 70+ sounds a lot better than telling the truth and saying 28 (that's not nearly as impressive when you consider the GMC Jimmy/Chevy Blazer-type siblings which brings the total down to 22.) In truth, there is little difference between the Ford Explorer Sport and the Ford Explorer Limited. Though Ford, GM, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Lexus and Nissan are represented, the foolhardy claim of "over 70+ vehicles" doesn't hold water. There will be no mistaking one track for another.Ĥx4 Evo boasts one the most complex career modes available. Still, the richness of each track conveys a feel and flavor unique to each track. This is a nice touch but entirely unnecessary. The skies above the race flaunt (quite needlessly) airborne hang-gliders, airplanes and birds. Interactive elements, such as earth-moving bulldozers, heavy lifting cranes and fast-moving trains add variety and random hazards during each race. Still, the designers left out the option of driver's side view with steering wheel, A-beam, instruments and most importantly, a rear-view mirror (essential for online play). Visual minutiae add character and life to the standard fare of ovals and large figure-8 tracks. ![]() The SUVs, trucks and other vehicles reek of detail and color while the terrain rolls and buckles with realistic earth tones. With the visual detail turned to maximum (in my case, 1600x1200, 32-bit color with Mip-mapping) the game delivers visual richness far exceeding today's standards. Technically, 4x4 Evo delivers a one-two-three punch of outstanding graphics, integrated online play and complex career-mode elements. In many ways 4x4 Evo breaks new ground in off-road racing - especially compared with the competition ( Accolade's Test Drive: Off-Road series ranks among the worst series of games ever). ![]() It only makes sense then that Terminal Reality would follow up one successful title with an ambitious project of similar design. Since then, Terminal Reality has moseyed over to GOD Games. Terminal Reality brought the seriously fun and successful Monster Truck Madness to 4-wheeling enthusiasts via Microsoft. ![]()
