Your capacities to tweak your vehicle in 4X4 EVO 2 are diverse — an unusual quality for an arcade racing game — yet not nearly as vast as in many racing simulations. You may determine the type of tires, transmission, suspension, axle ratio, break balance, torque split and handling balance. Here is the video game “4x4 Evo 2”! Released in 2001 on Windows, it's still available and playable with some tinkering. It's a racing / driving and sports game, set in an off-road / monster truck, licensed title, vehicle simulator and automobile themes. Feb 24, 2017 Cabelas 4x4 Off Road Adventure Free Download for PC is the first to be released in the 4x4 Off-Road Adventure series. It was developed by FUN Labs and released Feb.
Off-road racing has a long tradition on the personal computer, including, for example, the Test Drive Off-Road series from Accolade / Infogrames, Off-Road Redneck Racing from Rage, and the Monster Truck Madness series from Microsoft. In 2000, developer Terminal Reality and publisher Gathering of Developers joined forces to release the arcade off-road racing title, 4X4 Evolution. Now the two companies are combining their efforts to put out a sequel, 4X4 EVO 2. Here you get to compete in sports utility vehicles and light trucks in zany off-road racing out in the wild open country.
A good deal of expansive and multifaceted environments are present here, ranging from desert to snow, from a military installation to a super-highway, and from Egypt to Tibet. The length of each race varies but it can extend up to an exhausting twenty laps. You are not alone when you drive, as you will encounter stray civilian vehicles along the way, although a lot of the areas you pass through are decidedly remote. The challenges on each track differ markedly, for there is no redundancy whatsoever in the track design. The overall quality of the locales included is excellent, and the level of diversity is exceptional.
4×4 trucks or space patrol? You decide.
Similarly, there is a huge selection of vehicles in 4X4 EVO 2. These include 120 models encompassing sport utility vehicles, light trucks, and monster trucks. These range from unmodified cars to those with extensive enhancements specifically designed for off-road racing. The major brands are all here, including Chevrolet, Dodge, GMC, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Toyota. Over a hundred upgrades allow you to extensively customize your vehicles. Unfortunately, the range of choice is a bit deceptive, for not every vehicle has differentiated performance; indeed, it seems as if there are just a few distinct clusters of different types of handling characteristics.
Your capacities to tweak your vehicle in 4X4 EVO 2 are diverse — an unusual quality for an arcade racing game — yet not nearly as vast as in many racing simulations. You may determine the type of tires, transmission, suspension, axle ratio, break balance, torque split and handling balance. While each alteration has a marked impact on vehicle performance, tuning everything perfectly is not as essential to success as it is elsewhere in the virtual racing world. In addition, integrating your tuning decisions with your selections from the truly huge range of parts available is important to have a chance of winning.
4X4 EVO 2 also has a wide range of single player racing modes. Quick Race and Time Attack are both standard fare, but the real heart of the racing experience occurs in career mode. Here, you begin with no vehicle and a limited budget; then you buy a stock car and try to earn more cash; and finally you use your earnings to upgrade parts and better your vehicle, then sell high and buy an even better ride to win more races. On the surface this sort of gameplay appears to be standard, but underneath lurks some originality, mostly in the form of ‘adventure missions’ involving various objectives that range from glorified postage to search-and-rescue. What’s more, you can actually explore these routes before committing to a race in ‘Free Roam’ mode, allowing you to get a better grip of each location.
The most significant innovation in this sequel is the inclusion of “adventure missions.” At the start of each mission, you receive a briefing, a list of objectives, and a map, and every location contains hidden secrets. Completing a mission or discovering these secrets earns you cash for use elsewhere. These missions involve such goals as finding a particular structure or location, transporting supplies or documents to needy recipients, and performing search-and-rescue operations. Although the premium in these quests is not placed on racing speed, the missions are really fun and contribute substantially to the value of this offering.
The single most disappointing facet of this release has to be the implementation of collisions, which occur with greater frequency in off-road racing than in traditional closed track racing because paths are littered with obstructions as well as with other vehicles. There is notable inconsistency here, as you can drive through some objects unscathed while others of roughly the same size stop you in your tracks. This can potentially ruin your race, but not your vehicle (considering the utter lack of any damage modelling). Finally, the impact of vehicle-to-vehicle collisions is erratic, and the driving AI isn’t far behind, with cars that bash into obstacles and each other haphazardly.

Description of 4x4 Evo 2 Windows
Read Full ReviewYou just bought a brand new SUV, and your whole world just got brighter. That red paint is so shining it makes people squint. Local gas stations have already started ordering extra shipments of high-octane. Other drivers smile in warm appreciation, knowing you are the harbinger of safety and a well-proportioned steering axis. Even your friends think you're cool. Life is good. Time to break this little bronco and get dirty!
At least, if you're playing 4x4 Evo 2, that is.
That's right - equipped with the knowledge that everyone loves the idea of spending $50,000 on a Toyota 4-Runner just to crash the thing through heavily wooded landscapes, God Games has created a sequel to its addictive racer for people who like fast action, rock and roll soundtracks, and burning a little rubber through God's country. New graphics and racing modes help put you in the seat of 70 real-life vehicles, but the real fun in this somewhat average racing sim is the new, entertaining mission structure.
Nowadays, a racing game has to have all the best graphics, the most accurate depiction of real-world locations, and perfectly re-created vehicles. Unfortunately, 4X4 Evo 2 has none of these things. In fact, in comparison to the reigning king of all racing games (Gran Turismo 3 on Playstation 2 most would argue), this one comes up a little short. Driving feels more like riding on a sheet of plywood - one that doesn't steer very well, which was also true in the original. Acceleration is just the brief moment between fully stopped and full speed. There's a lot of bumping, a lot of grinding, and not much of anything else.
Test Drive: Off-Road Wide Open from Infogrames does a much better job of depicting the off-road sensation. There are times when you really feel like your monster vehicle is a monster, and acceleration has a hurling, dynamic nature. Evo 2 vehicles just lack power. There's no sense of speed or vehicle control. And, all the trucks drive about the same, although the Jeep Wrangler does seem sportier. For those looking for a real-world racer, hungry for that adrenaline rush of racing, speed right past this one because you won't find much accuracy or adrenaline.
What you will find is some loud music and lots of stuff to do and see. The new graphics are actually fairly mediocre. Not bad, not amazing. Interesting that the game requires a high-end system, with fairly flat graphics. The reasons the game runs slow are also what makes this one worth looking into. During just about any race, there's a wide assortment of structures and objects all over the place -- way more than the original. You might find yourself racing through a junkyard with old tires and gates scattered everywhere, through a military base with chain link fences blocking your path, or across a busy highway with semi-trucks coming right at you. In this way, the game has a lot in common with Microsoft's Motocross Madnessseries. Both games offer a huge number of objects and structures throughout the game environment. This is what makes Evo 2 fun to play, but also incredibly distracting if you're a serious racing fan.
The other great feature is a completely unexpected mission structure. There's the requisite career mode where you can buy a vehicle, race at the amateur level and slowly accumulate enough money to buy a better truck (or upgrade the one you own) and compete at higher levels. Races get difficult quick, but even if you place last, you still get some chump change.
It's compelling in some ways, although just about every new simulator has a career mode; Evo 2, however, provides a completely different way to raise funds that sets it apart from other racing games. Tucked away in the career mode, these missions range from some tricky obstacle courses to the even more varied objective-based missions. You can hunt for an ancient city, provide search and rescue in Alaska, discover a downed plane in the Grand Canyon, bring documents to a radio station on a secret island, and generally forget all about racing.
These are some truly massive maps -- 32 in all. Road getting a little bumpy for you? Invest in the perfect set of shock absorbers and then tackle the mission again. Evo 2 offers 90 different manufacturer-authorized parts to choose from. Most maps have secret areas to explore, and rewards that are quite helpful for finally being able to buy that Nissan you've always wanted. You can even give her a good tune up and a carwash.
Missions will probably keep you coming back for more, but other areas in the game are not as impressive. Gamespy-enabled multiplayer is just more of the same on the single-player races, only choppier unless you have a broadband connection. A free roam mode is sort of a throwaway considering the missions are much more interesting.
Some of the technical aspects have been improved from the previous version. A collision detection system means you will get frequently trapped next to large boulders, which makes sense because you shouldn't be driving that close to them anyway. Is it the collision detection of a game like Midtown Madness that gave you some extra (and more enjoyable) freedom? No. It also doesn't compare to something like Mechwarrior 4 which actually slowed your mech down at varying speeds depending on the size of the object you're running into (or over). In Evo, you can hit a tree or a wall and feel the same SLAM effect. Each car either drives sporty, medium, or large and lumbering without much variation.
Evo 2 has all the arcade tricks you would ever want, but sacrifices realism and the rush of racing for a smattering of things to do and see. If you're trying to decide between Test Drive: Off-Road and this game, choose the former for a better racing experience but choose Evo for its wildly inventive courses and creative object-based missions. There's no better place to beat up a brand new SUV.

HOW DO I INSTALL THE GAME ..?
-FuzzyFish-2018-10-175 points
For those having issues with game saves on Windows Vista and up. This game can not be installed to it's default directory (C:Program Files (x86)..) you must install it in another file, and make sure that the metal.ini file is not set to read-only. Otherwise save games will be deleted on exit.
For the Jeep 4x4 Evo 2 Demo, there is a copy of that on 4x4evolution.com
If you are trying to use the original ISO you will need to use a 16-bit compatible Windows OS to install it. Then copy the files over.

I also have the problem that my save progress gets deleted when i close and restart the game
I have noticed another problem that appears to also involve the accelerator. This vehicle has a 5 speed manual transmission. Putting manual transmission in an automatic car toyota corolla. The problem occurs in both 3rd and 4th gear.
