    you know those games that have a point, that have a meaning, that actually make the gamer feel good after playing it. If you want all these things than I suggest you move as far away from this game as possible.. I don't know where to begin with this game, when the race started all the other cars were already thrust ahead of me... If that wasn't bad enough my car started to drive backward on it's own.... Calling this …

    I like this game, but I cannot recomend it. This game's intended audience is a small number of people. Its for those who like games where you cant win. Its for people who like games that look like they were made in 1990. Its for people who like perfect AI that cannot lose a race and follow the track instantly, while you are constantly flying off the track, Its for those who like single player racing games. Its for …

    Friends stay WELL AWAY from this one. If you find this in the Steam Store, pack your bags, volunteer your services for the space programme and try and leave orbit. That is how much AWAY i mean by STAY AWAY. This scam which is a free game on the internet, which always comes with adware and the developer seemed to have sold its soul for that reason. While the game on Steam is valid and adware free, its greatest scam …

    I guess it's somewhat clever to attach the runtime to the launcher instead of the game. Makes it harder for folks to leave a review. That being said, this is a truly awful racing game. Tracks are nearly impossible to win due to the absurd 5 second head start cars get and their sheer ability to never fall off the track. Controls are awful, the UI is equally bad. This is just a bad experience every second you're …

    From the screenshots, you can tell 4x4 Dream Race is not the most modern game. A game has managed to get onto steam that looks like the N64 version of Hotwheels Racing, but with worse graphics. While this game may just seem like babbies first homemade game, googling 4x4 Dream Race's past brings up something much more sinister. The first few results for this game brings up free downloads for it. So you might be thinking, "Wow MFC Recruiter John, so it's just a free game dumped on Steam as a…

    Though this game has good soundtrack, i would not recommend to waste your time playing it. Graphics sucks, gameplay doesn't interest player at all. Spare your nerves and just pass through. Overall Rating: 3.0/10.0

    I want to throw my two cents into the ring. Let me start off about some good things about the game: *Great OST. Could listen to it for hours on repeat. *Awesome NPCS. The latest in modern NPC technology in racing games today by far. *Customizable trucks! Great designes and decals. *Hours and hours of gameplay. And some of the bad... *It doesn't cost more! Seriously, this game should be considered AAA, atleast being worth $35.00. Pick this gem up while its on sale, folks.

    Let me start out by saying that I won this game in the winter sale auction, and only bid on it because it was the cheapest game up for auction. With that out of the way, I will say that this game is god-awful. I don't know how much it actually costs as I am too lazy to check, but no amount of money is small enough to be fair for the experience I had with this. Steer clear of this game at all costs.

    This is my alltime favorite game now, don't mind the other reviews, they're all stupid and can't see the brilliance that is this game. For years I have strived in my plight in order to find the ultimate game in this universe and with this amazing game, my plight is over. Words can't describe how amazing this game makes me feel, ever since my father molested me, I can't get an erection without an amazing stimulus like me gave me. If you want to feel like a princess being lovingly raped by…

    4x4 Dream Race Positives: + The idea + Monster trucks + The "flow" when using nitro Negatives: - Horrible camera shaking that got me really motion sick - Bad graphics - Bad sounds and music - Badly designed first track (never got to the other ones) - Narrow paths and steep turns - If you want a small chance of getting higher than last place, you must use the nitro constantly - When using nitro its hard to navigate thru the track - Very low view distance - Extremely difficult to get higher…

    You know, this one is good for a laugh. Cheap joke gift that's no Grand Turismo. However, the control is all over the place and seems to change the rules on you as you play. Fun for a couple of seconds, but can't recommend.
