Game description: Arcade rally racing gets fast and furious in the newest addition to the EA SPORTS BIG! line-up. Let it all hang out as you powerslide, get big air, and smash through 20 exotic off-road tracks. Charge with precision and blaze through Shox Zones to win the races within the race. Burn rubber to earn a new turbo-charged ride or wager it all for a chance to win 24 licensed beauties in the ultimate off-road collection.
Shox is based around the concept of a shockwave that appears in front of the player's car if they successfully pass, within the time limit, through three points on a track. When catching up with the "Shox wave" the screen will appear blurry and make driving at high speed difficult.

Runs full speed, less CPU intensive game, Instant VU1 mode is good enough. Hardware mode better on DX11, however, still have some flickering issue and cars are being too chromish. Requires at least 2-core CPU to enjoy this game. | amirzaim |
