You simply try again with a different strategy. Driving these virtual machines is tough because it feels so real, and you don't feel cheated when you flip end over end or fail to reach the top. Almost any act in the game is a struggle, but satisfaction wins out over frustration throughout. Simply letting gravity take its course won't do, since it has a tendency to bring you down as hard and fast as possible with little regard to obstacles. Getting down a hill is even tougher than getting up.
The excellent physics offer a constant battle between gravity and the power of your 4X4, and body English isn't out of the question as you try to become one with your machine. Torque and the necessity to drop gears to acquire more when needed provides a sensation of power. Balance, helped by a great four-corner suspension model that realistically rocks back and forth over the treacherous terrain, gives you a hands-on feel. Vehicle handling aspects are well designed. The art of off-road driving is at the core of the game - a combination of delicate dangerous maneuvers requiring a love of the sport. As the driver, you must determine the best way around or over obstacles like rock and dirt mounds to get to your destination intact. Instead of focusing on how quickly you can get from one point to the next, Screamer 4X4 demands skill in making the trip. It may well be one of the slowest racing games ever released, but the design is intentional and not at all detrimental to the overall quality of gameplay.
Despite the fast-paced title, the designers understand the deliberate pace required to truly control and race high-powered off-road vehicles over rough, slanted terrain. Thus, it's an unexpected pleasure to find one that's a treat to play and worth every penny of the bargain-bin price. Games that sell-through at discounts on their first run usually mean little development time, even less testing, and normally live up to the age-old reminder that you get exactly what you pay for.
So often the neglected title on the game wall at your local retailer, and more often than not with good reason.
