DUDE I LIKE RACING GAMES BUT THIS ONE BLOWS. THE GRAPHICS COULD HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER THEY TOOK NO TIME INTO WHAT THEY WERE DOING THE SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE HEAR FROM OTHER REVIEWS (...) TOO. THEY GET SO REPETATIVE THAT I JUST WANNA SHOOT THE TV. THERE ARN'T ENOUGH MODES IN THE GAME AND THERE ARN'T ENOUGH COOL UNLOCKABLES. THE CONTROLS ARE OK BUT YOU HAVE TO GET GOOD AT THE BREAKING SYSTEM OR YOU ARE (...) FOREVER CAUSE YOU SPIN OUT ALL THE TIME... DUDE IF YOU ARE A NOVICE JUST LOKING FOR A GOOD RACING GAME THEN GO GET PROJECT GOTHEM CAUSE THIS GAME IS NOT FUN AND WILL MAKE YOU SICK AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES... TRUST MEEH THIS IS A WASTE OF MONEY BUT IF YOU DON'T BELIVE MEEH THEN JUST RENT IT FIRST AND THEN GO BUT IT IF YOU THINK IT IS WORTH YOUR WHILE.... PEACE OUT

It's too bad that I cannot give it ZERO stars

This game is the worst that I have played. It seems as if the designers decided to make an XBox game three days before release.

Here are the problems. In racing mode the AI is inconsistent, if you get close to a competitor it speeds up, and vice versa. Also, unless you use shortcuts you can never beat the computer head to head. Very frustrating.

Part of the career mode is completing missions for money. Now this is a great idea but the missions are pathetic. By the time you complete one you will be bangining your head against the screen. Some missions focus on finding people or things given a shoddy and incomplete map. It is impossible and I don't think that it is even in the code to be able to complete some of these missions.

Bottom line: save your money and don't bother even renting this game. It is horrible! If you want a decent off-road game go with Test Drive.

....... and I liked the first one.

i have had this game for a long time and it was so horrible i didn`t even want to write a review on it, but then i thought other people would get the game thinking it will be good like the first one ( well i thought the first one was good). the game sounds great with 70+ cars and over 90 add on parts but they realy don`t do that much to the car's handleing. the grafics arn`t the best but they are ok. But one of the things that made me realy mad was they took ford out of the companys on the list for cars and they had some of the best cars for off road racing. it is impossible to win a race because the controlls are hard and the other cars seem to go at least 10 miles an hour faster than you even the exact same car. i have a cheat to get 1,000,000 dollars and you can`t buy those specialized racing cars without doing so many races even if you have the money and i put all of the most exspensive parts and the best parts to help me increase my speed but i still lost and i am very good at racing like on the first one and on other racing games. so i would not recomend this to any one at all.

One star is being very generous

I rented this game (thank god) from Blockbuster. Blockbuster lets you rent games for 5 days at a time but I was ready to bring this one back after 2 hours. The graphics are horrible, I could barely read the text. The sound sucks! I drove on the bottom of a lake. It was boring and repetitive. Don't buy... don't even rent!

This game will make you bang your head on the ground.

In all honesty. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. I bought it thinking that they would have fixed the problems with the first one. But nevertheless I was wrong. Just for the simple fact that the vehicles collision problems ruin the game I would not recommend this game. It could have been a decent game but that problem alon ruins it.

Poor graphics, poor game

Poor sound, poor picture, poor everything. What a waste of time and effort. They could have spent the company's time ad money on something good, or a rushed piece of garbage. They chose the latter. This is nothing we haven't seen before, even the graphics are nothing we haven't seen before. Advanced system with graphics that should be on a PSX.If you find a copy on the street, don't throw it away, you might be able to use it as a coaster for your drink. Don't put it in your X-Box, though. You will have to punish yourself for abusing your system by using it as a garbage disposal.

Ok

The games has adequete grafics but not that of stature to Amped or Nascar thunder or Halo(of course not). This game also lack force feed back which is another draw back. The game does contain many levels and upgrades but i still find it lacking X Box standards. If you are into 4x4 racing i dont think you would be statisfied with this game, if your more into the career and mission mode you might like it. This game has the graphics equal to the computor version i found it as a good game but bad graphics. Its your choice it has some pro's and con's, you decide!

Not a good sequel, Not a good game.

I suppose the great review are from people who just got their XBox and were impressed with it. I'm sure after playing the game awile they reflected on their 5 stars with dismay.

No game that freezes for a full second during a race should get 5 stars.

You can get $$ in competition, but not if your friends join in.
Why on earth only 2 players instead of 4?
16 player mode could have been too hard, but surely 4 would have been easy enuf.

If anyone has had 4X4 on their computer, they will be dissapointed. I was anticipating more parts than before, and I don't count 9 different types of Winch's as a great improvement. It's a fun and addicting game, but they should have done alot better at making a sequel. I played it for about 6 hours before I got the fever, and reloaded it on my computer to play the best 4X4 I have, The original, it played online too..

Quickly Tiresome

This game lacks some basic features that I think make racing games interesting. Most importantly, there is no damage caused to the vehicles during the course of the race. For a game with above-average graphics, this is a major oversite that takes away from the gameplay.

This game did not hold my interest for more than a day or two.

AI opponents are invinsible - even after 100K of mods!

O.K. Godgames and Rockstar games did a few things right in this game - but ultimately they failed to produce a playable game. The load times are very lengthy. The menu is needlessly cluttered. In career mode there are 5 AI oppoenent vehicles. It is COMPLETELY impossible to out-accelerate the top car/truck regardless of mods - so the only way to get 1st-place is a lot of luck followed by a straightaway on the last lap - forget skills. For some reason it is TOTALLY impossible to nudge an AI oppoenent out of your way - forget everything you know about physics - going 110 mph and slam into an AI car - you lose he's fine - AI car going 40 and hits you - you are in the ditch my friend. Oh and lets talk about the shoulder of these race tracks! You can and will get STUCK on every little thing. Most games don't make you reverse from behind obstacles - they just penalize your speed - not this game. Trust me - this game deserve awards for its ability to cause needless aggravasion - shame on the Quality Assurance at Godgames and Rockstar games - this would have NEVER gotten by me!
