4x4 Evo
open-in-new
<h2 id="gameplay">Gameplay</h2> <p>Gameplay features off-road racing of over 70 licensed truck manufacturers. Modes featured in the game were Career Mode, Online Mode, Map editor, and versus mode. The career mode is the most important part of the game to feature a way to buy better trucks similar to the <i><a href="/facts/Gran_Turismo_(series)/32efJcoo">Gran Turismo</a></i> series. The Career mode also gives the player six purpose-built race vehicles: <a href="/facts/Chevrolet_Trailblazer_(SUV)/jf4INKNt">Chevrolet TrailBlazer Race SUV</a> 2WD, <a href="/facts/Dodge_Dakota/sU8NqhLM">Dodge Dakota</a> Race Truck 4WD, <a href="/facts/Ford_F-150/E3JUcB9B">Ford F-150</a> Race Truck 2WD, <a href="/facts/Mitsubishi_Pajero/dGzg1seH">Mitsubishi Pajero</a> Rally 4WD, <a href="/facts/Nissan_Xterra/tvDWsaeN">Nissan Xterra</a> Race SUV 4WD, and the <a href="/facts/Toyota_Tundra/HKGfvcxz">Toyota Tundra</a> Race Truck 2WD. They cost anywhere from $350,000 up to $850,000. These are the fastest vehicles in the game. Recently, KC Vale acquired permission from Terminal Reality, Incorporated to upload the game to his Web server, but the original vehicles have been removed due to an expired license. </p> <h3>Multiplayer</h3> <p>Although this game was released many years ago, the online community still exists with a fair number of players and some moderators who manage chat rooms. Dedicated servers are long gone, but it is possible to host games over the Internet and join other player-hosted games. </p><p>The game was brought back online thanks to the Dreamcast community as one of the more than 100 games so far to be brought back online for the Dreamcast.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="reception">Reception</h2>
