  • Summary: In Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open, off-road racing takes a detour through nature's badlands. The wilderness is your playground for 13 licensed trucks such as Hummer, Dodge T-Rex, Ford Bronco, and more. Avoid rockslides, waterfalls, and volcanoes as you tear up three countrysides--each featuring over 10 races and events. Speed through checkpoints in three gameplay modes--Circuit, A-B, and Blitz--against tough competition on rough terrain. The road to off-road supremacy goes through towering jumps, high-speed trucks, and shortcuts. Expand

  1. The pitch control (sounds like a flight sim, but when you are airborne, that’s what it feels like) is a nice touch, and coupled with solid graphics and sterling sound, makes this a solid driving simulation.)
  2. The thing that bothered me most was the way you can actually use the right stick on the controller to change the pitch of your truck in mid-air. I am sorry, but that is just way too much for me.

    Does offer gameplay that lives up to its name, but should have taken cues from the Wide Open in the title and made the total package just a little bit bigger.
  4. Avoid at all costs, unless you are an offroad junkie that doesn't mind racing nondescript blocks around a nondescript track.

    I played it and it was fun and really easy to beat. i had a great time playing it, and jason there is rockcrawling you just go to hawai and find the rocks right next to the out of bounds area right on the beach so i guess you need to explore games a little more. Expand
