Players can now race some of the world’s toughest off road trucks, 4x4’s and SUV’s through beautifully detailed environments, stunning, scenery and wide sweeping tracks designed for rough-tough, high-speed racing.
With real-time, on-the-go vehicle damage repair, acceleration faster than any previous Ford game, and alternative routes, Off Road brings a plethora of new and exclusive features to test players' driving prowess at high speed. The racing has never been this exhilarating!
