Test Drive: Off-Road Wide Open
open-in-new
<h2 id="gameplay">Gameplay</h2> <p><i>Test Drive: Off-Road: Wide Open</i>, like the previous installments, focuses on off-road racing and utilizes three-dimensional graphics. </p><p>The player has a choice of off-road vehicles from manufacturers such as <a href="/facts/Hummer/ahl2GUV0">Hummer</a>, <a href="/facts/Jeep/6f5snxWn">Jeep</a>, <a href="/facts/Ford_Motor_Company/lY6Wcwty">Ford</a>, and others. Each vehicle has several variants that differ from each other in appearance and characteristics (climbing ability, top speed, acceleration, and handling): Stock, Modified, Pro, and Unlimited (the last two are unlocked during the game). Each car can be repainted. There is an option to shift weight, which enables to adjust the position of the car while in mid-air. The PlayStation 2 version includes a multiplayer mode with a split-screen for two players and the Xbox version for up to four players. In addition, the Xbox version includes more off-road vehicles. </p><p>The game features four modes. In "Single Race," the player chooses a difficulty level (easy, medium, or hard), a track, and an off-road vehicle, and must place first among the eight opponents to win. "Career Race" is a single-player mode that includes tournaments, in which the player earns the money needed to buy new vehicles. In "Free Ride", the player can explore one of three locations; <a href="/facts/Moab%2c_Utah/s4jlUDcF">Moab, Utah</a>, <a href="/facts/Yosemite_Park/KBujLcNB">Yosemite Park</a>, and <a href="/facts/Hawaii/ImxFefeK">Hawaii</a>. "Stadium Race" is a mode available only in the Xbox version, in which competition takes place on special enclosed tracks. </p> <h2 id="development-and-release">Development and release</h2> <p><i>Test Drive: Off-Road: Wide Open</i> was announced on October 19, 2000. Angel Studios, known for another off-road racing game, <a href="/facts/Smuggler%2527s_Run/L0G1yqbG">Smuggler's Run</a>, was responsible for development. The new game was the first in the Test Drive series to be released on PlayStation 2 and Xbox and was the last installment of the Off-Road sub-series. The game was shown at E3 2001. In the making, the graphics, controls, and game modes were greatly improved. <i>Test Drive: Off-Road: Wide Open</i> was based on the Angel Game Engine (AGE) used in previous games from Angel Studios. The soundtrack includes songs from Metallica, Fear Factory, and others. </p><p>It was released on August 21, 2001, on PlayStation 2 and November 15 on Xbox in North America.<a class="footnote-ref"

href="#fn:33"><sup>33</sup></a> However, he raised the grade up to an average review in the November 2001 issue, saying that the game was "certainly leagues better without the infamous bug, but the
