Our Thoughts

4 Wheel Thunder turns off-road racing into a kinetic brawl of jumps, shortcuts and boost management. Trucks and buggies muscle through jungles, quarries and desert mesas, with track design that rewards exploring alternate lines—risk big air for a faster landing zone, cut across rough scrub to skip a chicane, or thread a narrow ridge to steal an overtake. Checkpoint timers keep pressure high, and mid-course pickups feed a turbo meter that you’ll learn to deploy on exit rather than entry for maximum payoff.

Vehicle handling is punchy and readable: throttle control matters on loose surfaces, while weight transfer over crests and ramps decides whether you stick a landing or fishtail into a barrier. Championship ladders escalate difficulty and vehicle class, adding rival AI that trades paint and forces split-second decisions at bottlenecks. Time Trial and split-screen modes round things out for players who enjoy shaving seconds or trading taunts on the couch.

Big jumps, breakneck straights and a satisfyingly aggressive pack make 4 Wheel Thunder a great pick for fans of arcade off-roaders. It’s all about momentum and bravery—holding the throttle through a blind crest, trusting a shortcut’s line, and hitting boost at just the right moment to rocket past the field.
