Spintires


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this here till now, specially seeing there is a big number of offroaders here. I've been following this for a couple of years now ever since a few beta version was out and must say have quite enjoyed it and around 2 years I actually bought it, something I rarely do, I usually "borrow" it for a while and get rid of it once I'm done. Oh what am I talking about, if you haven't guessed from the title already 

Spintires of course on the best ( IMO ) off-roading game ever!  Now I dunno how many are into gaming, and to be honest I'm not really into gaming either but if its car related and more a simulation than an actual game them I'm game ( pun intended! ) Anyways there really isn't much to do game wise other than to drive all sorts of awesome vehicles over all sorts of difficult offroad terrain and like I said its more of simulation than a game and real world off roading knowledge does come in use, you could find your self bogged down up to your diffs in mud, water or sand. Forget to engage 4x4 and you could find your struggling on gatch tracks, to cross that real wide gully, difflocks will come handy and if you had it, you can even winch yourself out or take control of another vehicle or if playing online ask your buddy to come over and give you a pull. 

Its now developed into a huge online community with tons of terrain maps and every possible vehicle you can think of available for download for free

I use my PC to play it and it was developed for the PC but its available on Xbox and PS as well, so no excuse not to get it. 
 

 

Just a taste of what kind of vehicles that are available

Admittedly the sand terrain maps I've able to find and download have not be totally realistic or at all, but thats mostly because the game was developed with mudding, trails and rockcrawling in mind but I still find it awesomely fun. Like I said infinite number of cars and terrains and maps available, so give it shot and let us know what you think

Download the demo and if you like it buy the full version, its pretty cheap for around $15, money well spent I say

OH WORD OF WARNING THOUGH. Don't buy the sequel, Which is called SpinTires Mudrunner, its pretty limited in car and terrain choice

Yeah its good all round fun and the best bit is the community is constantly developing new cars and maps so one doesn't bored.

Although like I mentioned its got the mud, jungle and rock simulation down right, the desert and dunes maps are basically mud which looks like sand in the game.

But all hope is not lost, I've been following the development of this and should be out soon. Dakar 18 and since majority of the rally is on sand they should get the desert driving simulation right, or atleast I hope they do. Check out the official trailer

Oh and @shadow79 I remember Driver and Driver 2 pretty cool with a hip 70s vibe, loved doing burnouts in that! And my all time favourite car sim is GT and if I ever buy a Playstation 3/4/5 or whatever is out at the time will be solely because of GranTurismo

What platform is this on? I have Xbox 360 ATM. TBH it works fine for me. I fire it up every now and then when I'm bored to kill a bit of time but the amount of time I spend on it now doesn't warrant me spending money upgrading to Xbox One or Xbox One X. In an ideal world, I would get the newest model but with the way work is, it would be collecting dust for a lot of the time.

My current racing time killers are Forza 4 and PGR4. Been playing them for a couple of years. Just about to unlock the million point picture on PGR.

Outside racing, I play Tekken 6 and Halo 4. The wife plays Mortal Kombat and a few Call of Duty games but I never got into them.
