    The Simulation is great. The Game in the Sim is great, its challenging and fun and not to easy as like many games/sims out there. The physics are great the Graphics are nice. I love it played it 20 + hours so far and only on 2 maps, so plenty content for me left. But i give - 3 points for: The Camera Controlls ( you get used to it but its annoying often) The Save System... pls let as do 2The Simulation is great.

    And the worst for me: I always need to switch between Fullscreen and Window with ALT ENTER cause my Mouse Pointer dont work in Fullscreen.    … Expand

    Very good idea, good graphics and physics, but very big minus is absence of any story. Because of this only 6 of 10. They should do trucks upgrade system: for example different tires and rims, modification of suspension, power bumpers, snorkels, engine modifications, spare tires, several kinds of winches. It will add more interest and and pleasure

    I'm not much into cars, but I do like odd and niche games, and this is one of them. This was gifted to me, and I did have some fun playing. It was challenging, as I've tumbled onto the side more than once right away, and it would've been addicting had camera and interface wasn't so poorly implemented. The difficult-to-read 'help' interfaces were pulled straight from 1990s basic webpages, and the camera was frustrating in every way possible. If the camera wasn't hypersensitive, it didn't respond. The graphics and sound are fairly good, but the distances (which aren't actually too far) are blurry, and it reminded me of decade-old graphic settings/engine.

    This game has a ton of potential. If the controls and interface were improved, and the developers added more things to do, such as watching out for wildlife, then I'd rate this higher. Sadly, I can't--at least not yet.    … Expand

    the mud physics is something new, its cool. can be frustrating, buggy. more interesting gameplay elements could be added, but playing in co-op is cool, winching each other out

    I have never grown fond of cars because almost nothing resembles being a car while standing next to Mercury Park Lane from the '59. And to drive Mercury Park Lane from the '59 in the 21st century is not exactly the most practical thing to do with your savings. However, I keep remembering our family Wartburg – a blue station wagon which clawed us through Podkrkonoší or Jeseníky, and that rusty beast did beat everything, weathered from fir branches and mudded from forest roads around Rejvíz. Why so many words? Because it is a must to enjoy the Spintires.

    Without a doubt Spintires is the best trucking game I've ever played. When muddy physics are combined with crappy vehicles, the outcome is truly unique. Spintires is a survival game, where you have to make do with big cars in a soft terrain. [Aug 2014]

    It targets a narrow group of gamers but does it expertly and engages them for hours, and even those who don’t know squat about off-road will be impressed by the visuals and physics provided by the game’s engine. [08/2014, p.59]
