Beautiful, But Definitely Tough

This is a nice looking game. Period. There's no pop-up anywhere in the scenery and the outside tracks are filled with many different lifelike landscapes. The pig float in the air on some tracks is funny and seems appropriate for this game that has an arcade feel, not simulation. I don't understand why Midway made the game so difficult though. If you miss one nitro boost on the track then your chances of finishing near the top are greatly reduced. At the starting line, the map in the corner shows that most of the vehicles are already halfway through the first lap. I don't get it. I like games with a high degree of difficulty, but it gets out of hand here at times. I'm sure many people will say this game is easy like a few always do, but I don't think I'm wrong. It's as if the game wants you to lose all the time since at the end of every race you don't place first in, the announcer immediately says, "You Lose!" The controls and graphics are excellent, but again the extreme difficulty brings this game down a bit as far as replay value goes.

The BEST thing that EVER happened to me!

This game changed my life for the better! This is evidence of video games being a positive influence! It has been a dream of mine for some time to be a race car driver and this stroke of genius, has allowed me to feel as though i am living my dream! Right now the only thing that would complete my life is to meet the individual who created this masterpiece. I am a very avid gamer and I do not doubt that he is a fasinating human being, an artist if you will!! I, Kristen ... may never be a "real" race car driver but, because of 4 Wheel Thunder i sure feel like i'm behind the wheel! Thanks 4 Wheel Thunder, you've made me a VERY happy woman! EVERYTHING about this game rules! I truly don't know where i would be without this game!

cool game

This game is for the hardcore extreme gamers. Unfortunently I am not one of them. This game is an arcade based with time limits, you also pretty much get first every time in order to move on. I dont know maybe some people like time limits but all my friends know, I DONT. Once I got bored with my other games I began to play it. I would of rated it better anyway if it wasent for one thing. It is very buggy. I would play and just about every race It seemed like the ground just dissappered to leave my truck/buggy to fall of the world to its doom. It some times freezes up in the begining where it says 3-2-1 and no GO.

Developers played this too much

The other reviewers are right. Let's make the new releases a little less difficult. The game is a blast but it's almost impossible to unlock the rest of the tracks. The extra boosts should be there to help you out, not a necessary item to win.

Terrible

I am here to tell you that this is not the off road racing game you want to buy! The tracks are bad, the cars are bad, this game is bad. Check out 4x4 evolution if you want a good off road racing game.

If you like your racing games to be more of an 'arcade' experience and less of a simulation (like I do), then this is the game for you. Great Graphics, decent sound, solid control, and it's fast as hell. Highly recommended.
