Virtually lag-free play, spot-on looks, and a tremendous amount of fun elevate 4x4 to the top of Dreamcast racers with little to no effort.

The graphics will instantly grab your attention, but it's slow pace and poor sense of speed may turn you off just as quickly, and you may not stick with it long enough to experience all of it's finer points.

If you want an off-road experience without getting the keys of your truck taken away from you forever resulting in you having to drive the family vehicle, a mini-van, by all means purchase this game.

If you're into off-roading, you may never have to buy another video game.

Too bad your mom's jokes are dirtier than any of these cars.

A fun, good-looking ride, but it could've been much better with more opponents, a little smack talk, and gameplay beyond checkpoint racing.

Although the speed of the game is not blazing 4x4 Evolution still gains more positives than negatives with a large amount of options, huge go anywhere environments and challenging gameplay.

The floaty controls and lack of speed will probably turn off most.

Staggering amount of customization, a virtual fleet of licensed vehicles, and an effective cross-platform online experience that gives a whole new meaning to the words "replay value" for a console game.

The off-roader's dream game.

Multiplayer novelties aside, 4x4 offers a solid racing experience, even if the game is hampered a bit by some poorly designed night races and cruddy collision detection.

If that sounds like your wettest 4WD dream come true, suit yourself. Me? Oh, I have "Smuggler's Run" for PS2, thank you very much. I'll pass.

It's fine for players looking for basic off-road action, but those looking for hardcore realism or arcade action should look elsewhere.
