Hardcore 4X4 is an off-road racing game where you drive a 4x4 vehicle like a Jeep or pickup truck around cross-country loops, aiming to reach the finish line first. There are three race types: single race mode, championship mode, and time trial.
In single race mode, you compete against five other players on a track of your choice in a one-time event. The Hardcore 4X4 Championship lets you race through all six courses in a row to win a hidden truck. Time trial allows up to eight players to compete in a round-robin style, competing for the fastest lap time around a track.
The game features 3D environments and truck models, with a soundtrack that includes hard rock music.
