[edit] General Overview
4x4 EVO 2 is a video game developed by Terminal Reality for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Windows and Macintosh platforms. It is the sequel to 4x4 EVO and features more trucks, and more racing tracks than the original game. It was one of the few PlayStation 2 titles to be released on CD-ROM, unlike most other PS2 titles that were released on DVD-ROM.
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.
Players are allowed to customize their vehicle to their liking with a variety of engine, suspension, wheels, tires, and other aftermarket parts and modifications.
[edit] Evo 2 Made Free
In late 2007, Terminal Reality's contract with the car manufacturers who's vehicles were used in the game expired. That made it illegal for Terminal Reality to sell the game. So the only way to get the game from somewhere, other than buying it some where used, was to get an altered version with the vehicles removed. Terminal Reality did not want to spend time working on an out-of-date game when they have more important things to work on. So Mark, head of Terminal Reality Inc. , contacted KC Vale about having him and various players accomplishing the alterations of 4x4 Evolution 2. His version includes none of the previously licensed vehicles, instead it includes several user-made vehicles, which are usually preferred over stock ones.

The Requirements in "User Recommended For User-made Vehicles" on the side of this page should be followed for the modified version of this game.
[edit] Vehicles
There are a total of 112 selectable trucks and SUVs ranging from compact to full size from the following manufacturers.
Ford was pulled from the game after licensing issues (present in the original 4x4 Evolution). Ford is said to have wanted too much for the use of their vehicles. There is a user-made pack available that includes these vehicles converted from 4x4 Evolution. The max number of vehicles you can have in a single career is 8. In free roam, quick race, and time attack there are 4 extra vehicle selections, class 1,2,3, and custom.
Class 1 is basically stock vehicles
Class 2 is slightly modified vehicles
Class 3 is highly modified vehicles
Custom is user made vehicles that aren't in career.
[edit] Teams
There are a total of 9 teams in 4x4 Evolution 2 career mode. There is one team to each vehicle manufacturer. Being on a team allows you to access special team vehicles, and special team parts. There are typically 2 team vehicles per team.The GameCube version includes several extra vehicles that are not on other versions.
[edit] Missions
There are many many missions in this game that can keep players entertained for a very long time. Doing the missions unlock more tracks. Along with giving extra money to spend in career.
[edit] Tracks
There are many tracks included in 4x4 Evolution 2 straight from the shelf. All of them contain a treasure in them. They are displayed in the form of a treasure chest. What is in them is money. The amount of money you get from them is random. The treasure can be found in any of the games modes. Once it is found, it cannot be gotten again without starting a new game.
[edit] Multi-player
4x4 Evolution 2 is well known for its user-friendly multi-player feature on the PC and Mac, which allows players to race against other competitors online. The game has a very large multi-player community, and it continues to grow, even though the game is considered "outdated" compared to some of the new games available. The main chat room is moderated by operators. If you have the modified game .EXE made by the user REALfreaky, you will have access to on-line features that Terminal Reality did not have time to fix before the game was released. Those features include, and are not limited to
- Ability to search for tracks on a website
- Ability to browse tracks on a website
- Ability to connect to user-made servers
