Infogrames Is Coming To The Xbox At Launch!

Test Drive Off-Road -- Wide Open for Xbox Ships
Developed by the masterminds at Angel Studios, the game features advanced “go anywhere” environments, more than 50 licensed off-road vehicles including the all new Chevy® Avalanche, and 30 suspension-shattering tracks in three untamed locations as well as an Xbox-exclusive Stadium location and a hidden lunar fantasy location.

Description

Test Drive Off Road – Wide Open contains a variety of heavy-hitting, upgradable licensed off road vehicles, each with their own unique handling and power/speed capabilities. The list of vehicles features an Xbox-exclusive truck, the all new Chevy® Avalanche. In addition, the game contains powerful rigs like the AM General Humvee®, AM General Hummer® Wagon, AM General Hummer® Rag Top, Rod Hall Hummer®, Jeep® Wrangler, Jeep® CJ5, Ford® F-150™, Ford® Bronco™, Dodge® RAM 2500, Dodge® Durango, Dodge® T Rex, Shelby® S.P. 360™, Chevrolet® Blazer and the Chevrolet® Silverado. Each vehicle can be customized with off-road performance upgrades. As players win races, they can purchase one of four levels of trucks, adding features like burlier tires and wheels, light bars, brush guards, lift kits and more to produce both visual and performance improvements on the vehicle.

Features

New to the Xbox version of the game is a Stadium location encompassing nine different tracks where players race indoors and wrestle their trucks in a King of the Hill battle to prove once and for all whose rig is the biggest and baddest. In all the locations, players make their own rules, determining which path and truck will complete the course the fastest.

Notes

Metallica’s hit song “Fuel,” from their top-ten ReLoad album, headlines Test Drive Off Road – Wide Open’s soundtrack along with other well known tracks by bands like Fear Factory, 303 Infinity, Digital Assassins and UnLoco.
