4x4 EVO 2 is a racing game in which the general point of the gameplay is to cross the finish line before all of the other vehicles. The courses are primarily in extreme environments such as deserts, canyons, and other off-road locales. Gathering of Developers, Inc. (shortened as G.O.D. Or GodGames, and branded as Gathering between 2003 and 2004) was an American video game publisher based in New York City. Founded by Mike Wilson and associates in January 1998 and originally based in Dallas, the company was acquired by Take-Two Interactive in May 2. May 17, 2006 The Macintosh version includes all of the features of the PC version, and it is optimized for Mac OS 9.1 and Mac OS X. 4X4 EVO 2 lets players get behind the wheel of more than 120 photo-realistic. May 24, 2012 This is the intro to 4x4 Evolution, as seen in the PC and Mac versions of it. I recorded this video from the PC version. For those who want to see the intro.

Description of 4x4 Evo 2 Windows
Read Full ReviewYou just bought a brand new SUV, and your whole world just got brighter. That red paint is so shining it makes people squint. Local gas stations have already started ordering extra shipments of high-octane. Other drivers smile in warm appreciation, knowing you are the harbinger of safety and a well-proportioned steering axis. Even your friends think you're cool. Life is good. Time to break this little bronco and get dirty!
At least, if you're playing 4x4 Evo 2, that is.
That's right - equipped with the knowledge that everyone loves the idea of spending $50,000 on a Toyota 4-Runner just to crash the thing through heavily wooded landscapes, God Games has created a sequel to its addictive racer for people who like fast action, rock and roll soundtracks, and burning a little rubber through God's country. New graphics and racing modes help put you in the seat of 70 real-life vehicles, but the real fun in this somewhat average racing sim is the new, entertaining mission structure.
Nowadays, a racing game has to have all the best graphics, the most accurate depiction of real-world locations, and perfectly re-created vehicles. Unfortunately, 4X4 Evo 2 has none of these things. In fact, in comparison to the reigning king of all racing games (Gran Turismo 3 on Playstation 2 most would argue), this one comes up a little short. Driving feels more like riding on a sheet of plywood - one that doesn't steer very well, which was also true in the original. Acceleration is just the brief moment between fully stopped and full speed. There's a lot of bumping, a lot of grinding, and not much of anything else.
Test Drive: Off-Road Wide Open from Infogrames does a much better job of depicting the off-road sensation. There are times when you really feel like your monster vehicle is a monster, and acceleration has a hurling, dynamic nature. Evo 2 vehicles just lack power. There's no sense of speed or vehicle control. And, all the trucks drive about the same, although the Jeep Wrangler does seem sportier. For those looking for a real-world racer, hungry for that adrenaline rush of racing, speed right past this one because you won't find much accuracy or adrenaline.
What you will find is some loud music and lots of stuff to do and see. The new graphics are actually fairly mediocre. Not bad, not amazing. Interesting that the game requires a high-end system, with fairly flat graphics. The reasons the game runs slow are also what makes this one worth looking into. During just about any race, there's a wide assortment of structures and objects all over the place -- way more than the original. You might find yourself racing through a junkyard with old tires and gates scattered everywhere, through a military base with chain link fences blocking your path, or across a busy highway with semi-trucks coming right at you. In this way, the game has a lot in common with Microsoft's Motocross Madnessseries. Both games offer a huge number of objects and structures throughout the game environment. This is what makes Evo 2 fun to play, but also incredibly distracting if you're a serious racing fan.
The other great feature is a completely unexpected mission structure. There's the requisite career mode where you can buy a vehicle, race at the amateur level and slowly accumulate enough money to buy a better truck (or upgrade the one you own) and compete at higher levels. Races get difficult quick, but even if you place last, you still get some chump change.
It's compelling in some ways, although just about every new simulator has a career mode; Evo 2, however, provides a completely different way to raise funds that sets it apart from other racing games. Tucked away in the career mode, these missions range from some tricky obstacle courses to the even more varied objective-based missions. You can hunt for an ancient city, provide search and rescue in Alaska, discover a downed plane in the Grand Canyon, bring documents to a radio station on a secret island, and generally forget all about racing.

These are some truly massive maps -- 32 in all. Road getting a little bumpy for you? Invest in the perfect set of shock absorbers and then tackle the mission again. Evo 2 offers 90 different manufacturer-authorized parts to choose from. Most maps have secret areas to explore, and rewards that are quite helpful for finally being able to buy that Nissan you've always wanted. You can even give her a good tune up and a carwash.
Missions will probably keep you coming back for more, but other areas in the game are not as impressive. Gamespy-enabled multiplayer is just more of the same on the single-player races, only choppier unless you have a broadband connection. A free roam mode is sort of a throwaway considering the missions are much more interesting.
Some of the technical aspects have been improved from the previous version. A collision detection system means you will get frequently trapped next to large boulders, which makes sense because you shouldn't be driving that close to them anyway. Is it the collision detection of a game like Midtown Madness that gave you some extra (and more enjoyable) freedom? No. It also doesn't compare to something like Mechwarrior 4 which actually slowed your mech down at varying speeds depending on the size of the object you're running into (or over). In Evo, you can hit a tree or a wall and feel the same SLAM effect. Each car either drives sporty, medium, or large and lumbering without much variation.
Evo 2 has all the arcade tricks you would ever want, but sacrifices realism and the rush of racing for a smattering of things to do and see. If you're trying to decide between Test Drive: Off-Road and this game, choose the former for a better racing experience but choose Evo for its wildly inventive courses and creative object-based missions. There's no better place to beat up a brand new SUV.

HOW DO I INSTALL THE GAME ..?
For those having issues with game saves on Windows Vista and up. This game can not be installed to it's default directory (C:Program Files (x86)..) you must install it in another file, and make sure that the metal.ini file is not set to read-only. Otherwise save games will be deleted on exit.
For the Jeep 4x4 Evo 2 Demo, there is a copy of that on 4x4evolution.com
If you are trying to use the original ISO you will need to use a 16-bit compatible Windows OS to install it. Then copy the files over.

Lunar 4×4 racing.
Most SUV owners only take their pricey toys off-road to enter the parking lots of suburbian malls, but 4X4 Evolution lets you drive your Explorers and Xterras wherever you like. Developer Terminal Reality has been down this road before; fans of the Monster Truck Madness series for Microsoft will feel right at home. Maybe even too much so. Driving the bouncy SUVs of 4X4 Evolution will make you think they have balloon tires.
While the physics make the game feel a bit like Moon Patrol, it does include a detailed solo game and a multiplayer component that is by far its most impressive feature. The PC version links up perfectly, seamlessly and invisibly with Macintosh versions of the game, which is quite unique. Though somewhat prone to warping and occasional synchronization problems (on multiple occasions on the unpatched versions, cars “won” the race but never left the start-finish line on some systems), the overall multiplayer experience is a positive one.
While the game’s multiplayer is truly innovative, it seems to come at the expense of the solo game. While it initially appears deep and detailed, it has an oddly tacked-on feel. You start the game with $30,000 and no car. You select from the available cars, run some races, buy some upgrade parts, sell the car and buy something better, repeat ad infinitum. Dreariness settles in and one might be left pondering on a career change. Yet there’s tons of stuff in there – over 70 different vehicles (all real world models, from Ford Explorers to Toyota Pathfinders to Dodge Dakotas), with an ungodly number of accessories (from engine and suspension pieces to mud flaps—too bad you can’t sell parts that you’re no longer using).
Once you get over the sheer quantity (it might take a few days or even a week), you realize the solo game is pretty pointless. It’s not a traditional racing game, in the sense that there are no real seasons where you get points for each victory and are competing against other drivers. Each series is just a bunch of individual races versus anonymous bots with prize money for placing. The overall goal isn’t really to beat your opponents; rather, it’s just to finish and earn some cash in order to build a better car for multiplayer. Once you’ve completed one series, you can keep replaying it over and over again until you’re blue in the face.
The game does do a good job of scaling the opposition to your current car. If you’re happy with your existing car and are winning regularly, you can keep running the same races over and over again and make a ton of cash. Your opposition is pretty much matched up in identical cars. As you add new pieces, they scale up accordingly, giving you a fairly consistent sense of challenge.

Cars have an alarming tendency to take off into space. Someone contact NASA.
The theoretical collision model makes the races more frustrating than they should be. Physically squeezing through checkpoints can be difficult, requiring you circle around for it to count. Some rocks stop you while you can drive right through others. And when you do hit an object such as a wooden construction sign, it tends to bring your two-ton vehicle nearly to a complete stop, but other times you can drive through power lines without so much as a sweat. Hitting other cars tend to launch you in all sorts of interesting directions, something exacerbated by an AI that pretty much stays on fixed paths, regardless of what’s in its way. And we can’t forget the aforementioned lunar gravity.
The game is visually rewarding, though the cars are proportionally too small in relation to some trackside objects (they just feel… tiny and insubstantial, which isn’t a charge you’d normally level at the ludicrously oversized Expeditions and Suburbans of the real world). The track design is also impressive, with quite a bit of variety, lots of luscious scenery and plenty of shortcuts. While there are 16 tracks in all, the game doesn’t allow you to race them backwards or with alternate routes, which makes the game more repetitious than it would have been even with something as simple as a reverse mode. The less said about the interface the better—people have died waiting for the painfully slow-scrolling text to tell you why installing a supercharger is a very good thing. And I need not even go into the wonky ingame camera modes.
4X4 Evolution has its place in history as the first truly multi-platform multiplayer game, and should be remembered for that impressive technical accomplishment alone. It’s too bad the game itself isn’t nearly as memorable.
