4x4 Evolution (also known as 4x4EVO, codenamed Metal Crush 3) is a video game developed by Terminal Reality for the Windows, Macintosh, PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast platforms. It is the first console game to have cross-platform online play where Dreamcast, Macintosh and PC versions of the game appear online at the same time. The game can use maps created by users to download onto a hard drive, and surprisingly a Dreamcast VMU. All games are similar in quality and gameplay although the online systems feature a mode to customize the players' own truck and use it online. This game is still able to play online with all but the Sony Playstation 2 systems.
[edit] Gameplay
Gameplay features off-road racing of over 70 licensed truck manufacturers. Modes featured in the game were a Career Mode, Online Mode, Map editor and versus mode. The career mode is the most important part of the game to feature a way to buy better trucks similar to the Gran Turismo series. The Career mode also gives you 6 purpose built race vehicles: Chevrolet TrailBlaizer Race SUV 2WD, Dodge Dakota Race Truck 4WD, Ford F-150 Race Truck 2WD, Mitsubishi Pajero Rally 4WD, Nissan Xterra Race SUV 4WD, and the Toyota Tundra Race Truck 2WD. They cost anywhere from $350,000 up to $850,000. These are the fastest vehicles in the game. Recently KC Vale acquired permission from Terminal Reality Incorporated to upload the game to his web server however the original vehicles have been removed due to an expired license.
[edit] Sequel
4x4 EVO 2 has been later released on Windows, Macintosh, Xbox, and GameCube. It features larger maps, denser terrain, and players can drive anywhere.
