    4 x 4 Evolution Description
    4x4 Evolution for Macintosh is an arcade-style, 4x4 off-road simulation. It puts you behind the wheel of a Sports Utility Vehicle or truck and challenges you to race through a variety of detailed off-road environments.

    4x4 Evolution takes gamers for a rough off-road ride through a total of 15 courses, each with its own distinctive design, music score and difficulty level. In addition to contending with the other vehicles, players will be challenged by a variety of variables such as gates, trees, and tractors in junkyards or oncoming traffic in construction zones. Virtual drivers choose their own path as they begin with a base truck and compete in a series of off-road races to win cash. Drivers can stop and rewind the action through a playback feature and can view the whole race again from multiple camera angles, and even different racers' perspectives. Players can also use GameSpy's Buddy system for instant messaging and keeping track of their fellow drivers.

    Offroad Action
    Taking the term 'off road' to the extreme, gamers can drive anywhere within each of the 15 gorgeous vast areas which replicate zones from deserts to treacherous mountaintops to tropical island chains. A race course consists of checkpoints strewn along the countryside. Drivers choose their own paths while negotiating whatever terrain lies between Point A and Point B.

    Cross-Platform Multiplayer
    4x4 Evolution is the first game EVER that allows Dreamcast, PC, and Mac users to compete against each other in heated online play. The PC and Mac version support up to eight players over the Internet or a LAN, while up to four Sega Dreamcast players can compete. Gamers on all three platforms will be able to easily download and play custom-built online only 'Lite' levels, and use the Chat System to converse with other drivers. In 'Time Trial' mode, players on all platforms can download the best lap that another driver has submitted, then race against the image of that person's truck, which shows exactly how that person drove to achieve such a great lap time.

    Real Vehicles
    4x4 Evolution's 70+ licensed vehicles are incredibly detailed and accurate versions of their real-life counterparts. From tailgate to brush guard, each 4x4 in the game looks and drives exactly like it does on (and off!) the road. A truck's personality and performance is subject to its owner's whims as well. Drivers buy their truck at the showroom, but competition purses and hidden treasures stashed in the outback will provide drivers with the funds they need to buy upgrade parts and equipment such as heavy-duty off-road suspension, brush guards, performance exhaust, and special off-road racing tires. And if a 4x4 just isn't performing to its driver's standards, it can always be taken to the garage for some in-depth tweaking.

    Serious Competition
    The competition in 4x4 Evolution doesn't cheat--it doesn't have to. Instead of adhering to pre-set race lines, the game's expert AI drivers navigate the courses just like the gamers, from checkpoint to checkpoint, only faster and smarter. These ruthless drivers can analyse and react to any driving situation and will take every opportunity to slam gamers off course to ensure them of one less contender for the trophy.

    Insane Graphics
    4x4 Evolution's visuals scream with realism, with shadows reflecting the time of day (four from which to choose), three different weather conditions, highlights glinting from polished chrome and fresh showroom paint, and the sun dazzling and blinding drivers as it peeks through looming crests. Splats of debris and mud erupt through thick clouds of road dust, and amazing wakes and rooster tails disturb the glassy surface as trucks crash through rivers and streams.

    Real World Physics
    Each of the courses is thickly populated with objects and obstacles, some that move under their own power, and some that require a nudge. Terminal Reality's real-time, real-world physics modeller was used for everything from the farm fences drivers blow through to the powerful express locomotives that stop for no one. Trucks feature super-accurate suspensions that dip and react to every pothole. Drivers will find themselves leaning to anticipate hard turns and steering for all they're worth as they rock and jolt along with the unforgiving terrain.

    4x4 Evolution supports Internet multiplayer options between Sega Dreamcast, Mac and PC.
