FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Take-Two's 4x4 EVO for PlayStation®2 Computer Entertainment System Ships to Stores Nationwide

Fully Licensed Off-Road Simulation Racer is GodGames' First PlayStation2 Title

Dallas, TX, March 29, 2001 - Game developer Terminal Reality and high-end computer and videogame publisher GodGames, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO), today announced that 4x4 EVO for the PlayStation2 as shipped to stores nationwide. 4x4 EVO is the fast-paced, 4x4 off-road simulation that puts virtual drivers behind the wheel of their favorite real world SUV and/or light truck and allows them to take a rough ride through a variety of detailed environments. 4x4 EVO for the PlayStation2 is being distributed nationwide by Jack of All Games, another Take-Two subsidiary, and is available for a suggested retail price of $49.99 and is rated "E" for Everyone by the ESRB. 4x4 EVO is also available for the PC, Mac and Sega Dreamcast.

4x4 EVO takes gamers for the off-road ride of their lives through a total of 15 courses, each with its own distinctive design, musical score and difficulty level. In addition to contending with the other vehicles, players are challenged by a variety of variables such as gates, trees, tractors in junkyards or on-coming traffic in construction zones. Virtual drivers can then stop and rewind the action through a playback feature, and can view the whole race again from multiple camera angles and even different racers' perspectives. 

The PlayStation2 version allows players to choose between three different modes: Career, Quick Race and Time Attack. 

Career mode lets gamers choose base trucks from nine licensed real-world manufacturers and compete in a series of off-road races to win cash. This money can be used to purchase enhancement parts such as a race clutch, heavy-duty off-road suspension, performance exhaust, and special off-road racing tires. Quick Race mode enables two people to pick from a wide range of trucks and courses and race head-to-head, while Time Attack mode lets players race against the clock while out-maneuvering a ghost vehicle. 

4x4 EVO for PlayStation2 hits the road with a truckload of new features including, revamped vehicle physics for even more realistic driving, controls that utilize Sony's pressure-sensitive analog buttons, and improved graphics which take advantage of the PlayStation2's power. In addition, 4x4 EVO for PlayStation2 showcases three new vehicles, Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 2WD, Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD and a Jeep Grand Cherokee Race SUV. 

4x4 EVO for the PlayStation2 also offers many of the same, great features found in the PC, Mac and Dreamcast versions including: 

Offroad Action

Taking the term "off road" to the extreme, gamers can drive anywhere within each of the 15 gorgeous vast areas which replicate zones from painted deserts to treacherous mountaintops to tropical island chains. Unrestricted by walls or pre-determined boundaries, racecourses consist of checkpoints strewn along the wide-open countryside. Drivers choose their own paths while negotiating whatever terrain lies between.

Real Vehicles

4x4 EVO's 70+ licensed vehicles are incredibly detailed and accurate versions of their real-life counterparts. From tailgate to brush guard, each 4x4 in the game looks and drives exactly like it does on (and off!) the road. A truck's personality and performance is also subject to its owner's whims. Drivers buy their truck at the showroom, but competition purses and hidden treasures stashed in the outback will provide drivers with the funds they need to buy upgrade parts and equipment. And if a 4x4 isn't performing to its driver's standards, it can always be taken to the garage for some in-depth tweaking. 

Serious Competition

The competition in 4x4 EVO doesn't cheat--it doesn't have to. Instead of adhering to preset racing lines, the game's expert AI drivers navigate the courses just like the gamers, from checkpoint to checkpoint, only faster and smarter. These ruthless drivers can analyze and react to any driving situation and will take every opportunity to slam gamers off course to ensure them of one less contender for the trophy.

Graphics

4x4 EVO's visuals scream with realism, with shadows reflecting the time of day (four from which to choose), three different weather conditions, highlights glinting from polished chrome and fresh showroom paint, and the sun dazzling and blinding drivers as it peeks through looming crests. Splats of debris and mud erupt through thick clouds of road dust, and amazing wakes and rooster tails disturb the glassy surface as trucks crash through rivers and streams.

Real World Physics

Each of the courses is thickly populated with objects and obstacles, some that move under their own power, and some that require a nudge. Terminal Reality's real-time, real-world physics modeler was used for everything from the farm fences drivers blow through to the powerful express locomotives that stop for no one. Trucks feature super-accurate suspensions that dip and react to every mogul and sinkhole. Drivers will find themselves leaning to anticipate hard turns and steering for all they're worth as they rock and jolt along with the unforgiving terrain.

4x4 EVO has received fantastic praise from the gaming and consumer press. GamePro Magazine described the game as "jaw-droppingly gorgeous" while Game Informer Magazine said that 4x4 EVO is "destined to rule your free time." In addition, AutoWeek wrote that with 4x4 EVO "your wildest truck-racing fantasies can come true" and The London Times said the game takes a "different spin on conventional racing games."
