"4x4 EVO 2" is a video game developed by Terminal Reality for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. 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, unlike most other PS2 titles that were released on DVD.

"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.

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 Terminal Reality did not want to spend time working on an out-of-date game when they have more important things to work on.So Mark, head of Terminal Reality Inc. , contacted KC Vale about having him and various players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.
