Screamer 4x4 may well be the slowest racing game ever to drive across a PC screen. It is also quite likely one of the most technical. Unlike fellow off-road affairs such as GodGames' 4x4 Evolution and Codemasters' 1nsane, Screamer 4x4 realistically and convincingly conveys the inherent difficulty posed when a 4x4 vehicle attempts to negotiate primitive, untamed terrain. It is an unforgiving and sometimes treacherously authentic game that minimizes the importance of top speed and accentuates such real world concepts as torque, grip, gravity and four-point suspension. Unfortunately, those who prefer the analog control of a joystick or wheel to the digital control of a keyboard or gamepad may have to jump a few hurdles and endure several painful setup teething pains before they can enjoy Screamer 4x4.
Screamer 4x4 is otherwise simply too intriguing to ignore completely. If you're the type of driver who feels comfortable with digital acceleration and braking, there's no question that Virgin's latest off-road racer has a lot to offer. And even if you're not, chances are you'll somehow find a satisfactory controller solution. As part of Virgin's new $20 budget lineup, Screamer 4x4 is a surprisingly authentic and involving motorized journey into the wilderness.
