    Retextured Spintires, at least Spintires hasn't been abandoned and left full of bugs. This game is a carbon copy of the original Spintires with little in terms of new content. it is also more expensive then Spintires which makes this game pointless to buy unless you want to play on renamed maps with a slight difference to the original maps on Spintires

    The game is totally mismanaged. Bad UI, bad interior, bad environment design, bad game design, poor multiplayer, and lots of bugs. There isn't much content, you are just carrying timber so there is literally nothing to do after several hours. No info about trucks, also no info about maps. Poor game.

    I had an insightful friend tell me it was a bit like STALKER (add your own dots), Patholigic and the original Witcher game. I found this hard to believe. 'It's a trucking sim' I thought. 'What can it have in common with these games?' After about a hundred hours I finally understand. It has that fantastic eastern European thing going on that most games can only hope to emulate.

'What can it have in common with these games?' After about a hundred hours I finally understand. It has that fantastic eastern European thing going on that most games can only hope to emulate. Sure it's a bit wonky, but if you've played any of the aforementioned games you'll get the idea. The atmosphere is bleak and amazing; the game itself a diamond in the rough. Essentially this is a physics engine pièce de résistance. If you have done any 4WDing you will appreciate that nothing has done mud, sand or water physics better.

    Ostensibly it's a game about transporting logs across a boggy map, but within this simple premise is one of the best sandbox games ever created. Playable solo or with a friend (or three if you've got them), this game excels at making the mundane magnificent. Equipped with an arsenal or half a dozen trucks which can be outfitted in a multitude of ways, you will grind, bump, bash, winch and trawl your way through each of the six maps and within find transcendence.

    All the criticisms are legitimate: The camera is frustrating, the gear layout confusing and the interface barely passable. I raise these problems to highlight the fact that I still believe this game is worth a 10/10.

    If you think you may like a well executed sandbox where physics is everything then do yourself a favour. If you think the idea of problem-solving how to recover a trailer-full of lost logs that you've dropped by getting too macho on a deserted, rocky beach in the moonlight is your cup of tea... pick up this game.

    It's a quirky, brilliant masterpiece of bleak, lonely perfection. If you're not rolling your eyes yet then buy it, play it, delight in it and finally adore it for all its strange perfection.    … Expand

    Good improvement to initial Spintires game. Gameplay is enjoyable, however there is a lot of hussle involved which is natural for this kind of game and even title suggests so. Overall, I would say that this is very specific kind of game which is done well.

    No high-range gears, no clutch pedal, no manual shifting (instead you got some "1" and "1+" nonsense), camera still a mess, maps are duller than in original, cockpit view is half-assed. This should have been a patch, not a new game. I don't think it's worth it.

    Spintires: MudRunner это тоже самое что и просто"Spintires" только с улучшенной графикой, физикой и новыми гряземесами (машинами)!))) Для новичков есть режим испытаний и обучение для вхождения в суть игры! А раньше тебя выкидывали в Тайгу и делай что хочешь и как знаешь а в начале НИФИГА ты не знаешь))) Дружелюбней к игроку стала! Камеру снаружи исправили, теперь обзор не раздражает иSpintires: MudRunner это тоже самое что и просто"Spintires" только с улучшенной графикой, физикой и новыми гряземесами (машинами)!)))

    Relaxing and enjoyable simulation. Once you get passed the learning curve, it is a lot of fun.

    Mudrunner, el juego que debería de haber sido Spintires en primera instancia.

No suelo recomendar expansiones de videojuegos, pero en este caso 2 son gratuitas, y las otras 2 son muy buenas, con todas las expansiones el juego aumenta bastante su contenido y se distancia más de Spintires para ganar personalidad propia. Le doy un 8 porque no innova tanto, pero recomiendo jugar a Mudrruner, más accesible al nuevo público que la anterior entrega pero igual o incluso más divertido.… Expand

    Surprisingly enjoyable!

    The game asks you to be diligent and if you screw up, you have to deal with the messy situation. Good concept.

    Игра хорошая про нашу родную Россию ещё ям на асфальтированных дорогах не хватает. Я бы даже разницы не заметил. В SPINTIRES: MUDRUNNER самая лучшая грязь другим играм стоило бы поучится. Меня раздражает то что я на большой технике не могу сломать маленькое деревце, мне кажется это как то глупо.Игра хорошая про нашу родную Россию ещё ям на асфальтированных дорогах не хватает.

    Washed out graphics looks like DirectX 9 game. Carbon copy of Spintires, do not buy.

    This game is a kind of sandbox. Vehicles cost nothing; you only chose the cars & map. You should find what to do by yourself. There are no game-play experience boosts, no general aim or plot. It`s only interesting to research a map for one or two times. It is fully senseless to buy this game after snowrunner relise.

    Геймплей медленный и очень хардкорный. Игра весит мало, спасибо zip сжатию и разработчикам, которые решили его использовать. Управление ужасно неудобное. Игра на любителя.

    Basically this game is a re-branded original Spintires game with trucks that look slightly different than the originals to avoid license costs. If you liked the original Spintires, you most likely will also like Mudrunner.

    This game here is very simple, nothing more, just go from one point to another amidst several obstacles, but its essence and its physics applied to the axles and chassis of trucks and vehicles

    The effect of the wheels in the mud, the suspensions and the time to move it was well done ...

    The return of the driving ability field test has succeeded, although with some exceptions. It is great with all its muddy exercises and great atmosphere, but the witnesses of the original would feel that there is not enough changes and the newcomers will be terrified of the unfriendly user interface. Either way, you will not find a more original game involving cars.

    Spintires: Mudrunner is a soviet saga regarding man’s struggle to tame and traverse the wild nature. Hubris and failure to read the muddy roads result in disaster, only to overcome it as well, as the very essence of the game is to enjoy those failures, gameplay-wise.

    Spintires: MudRunner is a well-thought out and obvious improvement over the original in a number of ways. The physics feel tight and loose where they need to be, the new vehicles are genuinely fun to explore and drive, and the overall look of the game gets down and dirty in the best of ways for an off-road delivery simulator. It can get tedious at times and we wish the game took a few more chances, context, and variety in challenging our driving skills, but exploring and making our own battles through the tough journey from place to place is still a highlight, especially with friends along for the ride. A sketchy damage system and a few less than stellar textures make this game feel less polished than it ought to be at times, but with a healthy mod community and a ton of support and depth behind it, Spintires: MudRunner feels like an off-road trek that will keep on giving.
