I found it quite boring.. there is allready a part 2 of it, which is
not much better. I guess slow hill-climbing and manouvring is simply
utter boring on a pc (while very challenging in real life.. I lend a
Transporter once from my company and took it for a weekend
off-roading, on a field where the Dutch army practice with their
tanks.. about $2500 damage after the weekend but I had a damn good
time!)

FWIW, I think it's a great 4WD game - easily the best available (not that
that's saying much).  The single player mode offers good 'sim' driving and
the 4-player LAN mode is loads of fun!

Don't you think Insane was better? Not as sim-oriented, but definately
more fun than Screamer 4x4 imho..

What is the part 2?  The Cabelo's title is definitely not part 2 of Screamer
4x4 according to the Clever's guys.

says...

I think the physics are amazing. It just isn't the type of game that most
people get into.

Clever's did that title, but said it was a *** thing they had to produce
under a very tight deadline.  No***pit view, e.g.

I have the unopened box in front of me.  Was waiting to see if I should
bother, but with NR2002 arriving yesterday and RT coming soon, I think I'll
just return it.

I love it to bits.

You need a clutch pedal, and a handbrake to really enjoy it though.

Its a challenge, so its not for go fast freaks, but its hella fun to bomb
around the bush, trying to get up impossible slopes :)

I think it's pretty fun, and it was only $20. It has a neat kind of "fear
factor" as when you start to speed up you get a little scared as to what you
might encounter over the next crest :)

Thanks,
Alex
