Official description

Welcome to the dirt-grinding, real-world racing of 4x4 Evolution 2. You will explore, rescue, and compete through three new career modes. First, pick a base truck in which to compete in a series of off-road races, then win fast cash to deck out your truck with an inventory of more than 90 real-world parts to increase your power. There are more than 32 expansive outdoor courses set in a variety of locations around the world. Trek into jaw-dropping environments and mission-based adventures, including the search and rescue of a downed plane in the Grand Canyon and the discovery of a lost Mayan city in a Central American jungle. 4x4 Evolution 2 is easy to learn but hard to master, allowing for satisfying, long-lasting gameplay.
The AI engine is diabolical and ruthless, crushing in your passenger door while overtaking you for the lead, and the spoils. There are 70-plus masterfully detailed sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) and 4x4s. You will be in control of a customized, high-horsepower, multi-thousand-pound beast, with such a realistic physics control system that the terrain is no longer beautiful scenery--it is the enemy.

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.
