With over 80 vehicles to buy, race and upgrade, 4x4 EVO 2 is your chance to take your favorite Sport Utility Vehicle out of the daily commute and into the untamed wilderness on the Nintendo GameCube.

In 4x4 EVO 2, weekend warriors race across a variety of landscapes in gas-guzzling SUVs. Many manufacturers lend their powerful off-roaders to this title, including Chevrolet, Dodge, GMC, Infiniti, Jeep, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Toyota. These rough riders run the gamut from classics like the 1985 Chevy Blazer K5 to the new Jeep Liberty and cushy Lexus RX300.

There is no reason to covet your neighbor's Yukon XL anymore, because you can get behind the wheel of more than 80 of these monsters and blaze trails through 35 rugged courses. Rolling over the sandy coast of Baja Beach and winding roads of Pike's Peak is what real men dream of while they are stuck in gridlock on Monday morning.

Winning races in 4x4 EVO 2 takes more than a tuned-up V8 and a set of knobby tires. To out-drive the competition you must find the quickest route to each checkpoint using your on-board map. Trekking through uncharted territory is dangerous but necessary. You will also need to downshift when you attempt to climb steep hills.
