wide open isa really cool game. some things about it can really mislead u. first of all it says 3 terrains. well for each terrain there are 3 kinds of races.there are 9 races for each of those kinds of races. so overall u get 81 races. even though there r only 13 cars, each car can be upgraded 4 times, seeming to make it a whole new car. there r some glitches. ur car will not flip over or get awesome air. it seems to be magnetized to the ground like someone else said. also, the graphics rnt top notch. otherwise, this game is sweet, and i recommend buying it

Boring.....ZZZZZZ!

This game is boring....most of the races are the same thing over and over! I have played the one for X-box, and it will let you unlock the moon buggy and the moon level, but the ps2 wont let you! What is up with that?! If any of you gamers out there plan to buy this game.....forget it. Spend your money on something else. If you bought it already, RETURN IT! This game is worthless! If you want a better game, get Midtown Madness 3. That game is way better!

If you're looking for offroad action get smugglers run instead of this lame excuse for a game. It's boring and pointless. Avoid at all costs.

Awesome

This is the best racing game for the PS2 that you can buy if you want to go off roading, jump some hills, and basically have the time of your life. You get the following cars: Chevy Blazer(the big one, not the S-10 version)and Silverado, Dodge Durango and Ram-2500( the truck is actually A 1500), Hummer Soft top, Hummer Wagon, Jeep CJ-5 and Wrangler, Ford Bronco and F-150,. This game truly has off- road supremacy.The " Free Roam" feature is truly one of the most expansive I have ever seen, seemingly limitless in space. The three areas, Yosemite, a forest locale, Hawaii, complete with beaches and an active volcano, and Moab, a sandy place with many fun jumps. Most would say that the game lacks the true realism that is deserving of such a title. I say, Who cares?
I am not a racing game fan, but this is one game that I can play for hours on end. If you want strict realism, get GT3. I have it and it does a very commendable job of simulating real life tolerances. But if you just want some fun, with no explosions, just high-flying jumps, and getting extremely dirty, get this A.S.A.P.

When the new test drve came out i sent my mom to rent it. But she came home with this game. I started to play it and I just went on freedrive and i thought that the levels would be small but, it turned out to be huge! I couldn't find the end of the level. This came has awsome vehicles and great controols all it needs is some cops to bang up!The addons make the game the coolest.

It's ok, but don't spend too much on it

It's fun to be able to drive around wildly through the mountains like a maniac. However, the mechanics of the game are extremely sloppy.

One thing that bothers me is how it appears that the vehicles have magnets in the tires that stick to iron deposits in the ground. That's the only way I can explain how you can easily drive up a cliff at 90 degrees. It also explains how difficult it is to flip over when you fly off of something, and the fact that your truck isn't destroyed when you jump off of something that is as high as a skyscraper.

The graphics are decent, and the world you can play in is expansive. I got this game used ... and don't mind that, but I wouldn't want to pay full retail price for it. I've played it for one day, then put it down. There may be other games in this genre that are better, as it wouldn't be difficult to improve on this. Still, it can be fun at times, so if you can get it dirt cheap, go for it.

Dont waste your money

I was very disappointed after popping this game in my ps2. As the graphics are somewhat ok, the general handling and realism are far from ok. When you catch mass air on a jump, you land as if you just jumped a gopher hole. The steering is to tight and the general vehicle selection [lacks]. If you are into realistic games like myself, you would have more fun watching a donkey climb a tree. All and all, I wouldn't even pay the shipping charge for this game.

pretty cool

This game is really cool! You get to choose from a buncha different offroading trucks, my favorite being the Hummer. For each offroad vehicle, you can choose between four different stages of each vehicle, with stage 4 being the best and 1 being the worst. You start out the game with a limited amount of money to buy a truck, so you need to earn a lot more money to get a better one. The different stages on each truck need to be unlocked, with 1 being available from the beginning of the game. There are multiple shortcuts on each track, with some being very obvious. There are some insane jumps in the game, and you seem to land correctly every time. Overall, this is a good game for the not-so-hardcore gamers.

THE BEST GAME EVER!!
