    It’s not survival horror with trucks. It’s survival horror for trucks. You as a driver, as a person, as a foot on a gas pedal and a pair of hands, don’t exist. Whether it’s because Oovee didn’t want to fuss with character models or because it’s an intentional effort to focus on the element of machines vs nature without mere humanity in the middle to muck it all up, the world of Spintires is like Maximum Overdrive, that dopey horror movie where trucks come alive and drive themselves around. Not for the cheese factor, of course.

    Spintires is a very good game. It's hard to imagine a better truck driving model - game engine paired with Havok covers up any issues the game might have (and it has some minor ones). Spintires is a game with an original theme and a great example of a simple, but extremely playable product. Great job.

    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]

    Great mud-parcours for fans of enormous green diesel monsters - needs a bit more "game" though.

    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.

    Spintires is a simulation game in which you drive through Russia with different off-road vehicles. The in-game physics are a blast and are very realistic, but overall Spintires can be kind of boring to some players. You only have one objective to complete, and all the maps look alike. Still, if you just enjoy riding through dirt, this is the game for you.

    There are quite a few positive aspects: the driving physics feel authentic, the real-time deformation of the surroundings is impressive too. But Spintires lacks depth, be it more varied missions or even the smallest economy system. This is more a tech demo than a game.

    It's simple AMAZING!!! I love this game! it's really hard to play, but it 's very rewarding.

    Positive: Terrain deformation, Tire pressure
    It's simple AMAZING!!! I love this game! it's really hard to play, but it 's very rewarding.

    Positive: Terrain deformation, Tire pressure simulation, Realistic water behaviour, Driving physics in general, Maps are pretty big, and full of challenging terrain, You can mow down trees, Multiplayer, Vehicles of all sizes, ranging from the small UAZ (Jeep) to the monstrous 8x8 Maz., Winching is fun and very useful, You can attach it to both other vehicles and trees, Attaching a crane to your truck, to pick up lumber, move rocks out of the way and sometimes to help push the truck up, The game is well optimized. Runs on max at a steady 60 fps on a GTX 670 @ 1080p, with 50% power to spare, Trucks take damage, and consume fuel. You can install a utility addon for mobile repairs, or a fuel cistern for re-fueling in the field.

    There could be improvement and the game changes often but as it sits this is some of the most fun I had in a while. Off-road log trucking isThere could be improvement and the game changes often but as it sits this is some of the most fun I had in a while. Off-road log trucking is what you do, with industrial and older ex-military trucks like the 6x6 Ural 4320. You take these machines and try to pull heavy loads of wood across the worst terrain you can imagine but mother nature in Siberia does not like you taking her trees so it will fight you with mud bogs and harsh dirt roads that will make most civilized highway truckers cry. And it's coop, so much fun coop play to be had here winching friends out while trying to save their load of logs and not flipping it. I actually did this kind of stuff in real life but only with small trucks and firewood, regardless me and every fellow I know love this game. Literally a video game made for everyone, even country folk get high enjoyment from this. The only reason for not being a 10 is issues with the publisher and the developer casting a shadow of doubt over the whole game and it's future. Expand

    Spintires es un juego novedoso que apuesta por nuevas experiencias, y realmente no hay nada que se le parezca en el mercado. Sólo con lasSpintires es un juego novedoso que apuesta por nuevas experiencias, y realmente no hay nada que se le parezca en el mercado. Sólo con las físicas tienes diversión para rato, ya que son excelentes (me ocurre como con GTA IV). Le doy un 9 a Spintires por su arriesgada apuesta de hacer un juego novedoso y para un público muy concreto. Las personas que lo juegan o lo aman o no les llama la atención, no hay punto medio. La nota la otorgo por ser el primer juego de la saga, el que dió el paso adelante y creó un videojuego muy de nicho. Nuestra misión como conductores de camiones rusos off-road es explorar el mapeado y después transportar madera desde el o los aserraderos hasta las zonas donde son necesaria la carga. No, no es perfecto, y cabe mencionar que se nota el bajo presupuesto en que el juego trae poco contenido, con las mecánicas que tiene se podría haber construido un juego enorme y lleno de contenido, pero aún así recomiendo jugar y probar esta experiencia.

    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 physicsThe 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 2 or 3 Saves not only 1.
    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.
