Buy Spintires on Sale

Honestly, if it weren't for the mods (vehicle and map add-ons) I would not recommend Spintires due to the lack of content and variety the core game has at the full price. I personally feel it's a good deal on sale at $15 or less for any driver gamer. With all the mods I've seen, it's barely worth the full price ($30) to me. Maps are downloaded and added manually. None are thru Steam at this time.

This is also, somewhat, a niche game; off-road simulation/sandbox-ish.
You choose a map and your vehicles and choose what you want to do:
Rock climb, race/mudder/mudding, explore, test/derp in the different vehicles or actually try to complete the objectives which ever way you want to try.

My complaints that I can live with are: there is only 1 set of engine sounds. Every vehicle sounds the same. The camera angles are horrible. And my SLI rig doesn't seem to like something about the game.

This game isn't for everybody. Check out videos of different gameplay and see if it's for you.

BTW, I do have a T150 steering wheel. The steering wheel itself and force feedback does add so much to immerse yourself into the game.

This game has great potential. I love that the community has changed what the game was intended to be (a logging sim) and made it a sandbox for off-roading creativity. Props to the modders and community for making this moderately decent game phenomenal! They took over where the developer fell short. Definitely look to outside sites to bolster your map collection for variety in trails and terrain (mud, sand, rocks, water, etc). Be sure to check out modders in the workshop named Brute and Spun, they made this game far better.

Don't let the negative press scare you away, the community and modders are awesome even if the devs aren't. Would recommend to anyone who has the slightest interest in offroading and simulation.

Harmless bit of fun, this game dosn't promise much but provides many hours of muddy driving fun..
Is far from a polished game, with huge room for improvments & added content but still innocently simple & pleasurable..
I think most complaints from players are aimed at lack of new development & communication.
Worth a few nuggets when on sale :)

HONK HONK!!! One of the cooolest driving games ever. In fact now that I am writing this I am going to re-install it and see if I can get my friends to do the same. Shouldn't be a problem. We had some great co-op gaming sessions with this spectacular piece of game design.

Fording a raging river and watching your bud not only submerge his entire vehicle under the excellently rendered water, but re-emerge unscathed to get a Steam achievement and continue on his way to re-fuel another stranded friend was one of the best co-op gaming moments in history. Just sorry I don't have video of it.

The way the mud deforms around the tires, hearing the truck bog down, having a guy pull up and winch you out. TOTALLY AWESOME! Big Russian trucks. Mud. Water. Forests. Unforgiving terrain if you stray from the roads/paths. TOTALLY AWESOME!

It's not perfect. The campaign is fairly limited in terms of game mechanics. Go here, pick up logs, take logs to depot. Maybe stop off and unlock some of the hidden vehicles around the map. Go and refuel your friends. Or pull them out.

But, I refer to my earlier comment. TOTALLY AWESOME!! I give this game a 8.5 out of 10. Not perfect but very very good.

great game get stuck in the mud even more fun with some mates

yes this is a good game i would like it more if thay would give the maps in the workshop

This game is great its worth the money if you want to mod the game or use mods in the game, sadly the original game comes with very very few vehicles and maps and gets boring REALLY fast, So just remember this ENTIRE game is run on the Modding Community without this, the game would have died a very long time ago.

The physics in the game is phenomenal
20/20

1. Boot up Spintires
2. Select Map (Ususally NW Trails for me)
3. Select Trucks (SID and Brute are modding Baes)
4. Begin Trailing
5. Accidentally Flip Truck
6. Get in Rescue Truck
7. Accidentally Flip Rescue Truck
8. Take 5 Min Break
9. Rescue both trucks to garage
10. Repeat steps 4-10

10/10 Would Flip Again

In all seriousness though, this is one of my favorite games ever. One of the only accurate offroad simulators out there. And it is highly modable! I dont play the actual game itself very often, most of my time is spent on trialing maps driving around in mods, very rarely do i do the logging maps. However, those are very fun aswell.

NOTE: It takes a long time and A LOT of patience to get good at the game. If you dont have any patience, dont waste your time. However if you have the time and patience, and love a good challenge, this is the game for you!

PROS: Great gameplay, lots of fun, highly moddable, easily moddable, great challenge
CONS: Biggest problem i have with the game is the camera, im not a massive fan of the camera, it takes a long time to get used to and it can be very derpy at times, however there are a few mods out there that help with it

friend get stuck. pull him out mud more i get stuck friend pulls me out. finally get to fuel roll over going up hill. buddy tried to wench me over. truck too heavy. buddy rolls over. we are both stuck have to rescue to garage. 10/10 would get stuck again

This is the best off road experience you can get in a game. Awesome graphics and physics. When you unlock an achievment it is really quite an accomplishment. Game is extremely hard but rewarding when reaching goals. Oh yeah, did I mention the Mods, many new trucks, jeeps, 6wd, even monster trucks to choose from. Simply beautiful. Highly recommend.

Good Game, Bad Price. Find it for £5 and you'll be golden

Not one of best offroad simulator. IT IS BEST OFFROAD simulator of all time. But, allways is but, BUT with worst developer support i ever seen. Game is dead, just modders community keep SpinTires alive.
...Terrible... Because this game have a very very very big potential.
amen

Awesome Game! Great physics! Love it so much! It's a great muddling game and now we have the mod workshop it makes it even better! 9/10

If you're not listening to Russian communist songs while playing this, you're not playing it.

When you play this game stress makes you drink Vodka every time your piece of ♥♥♥♥ truck stucks somewhere in the mud and swear on russian, you start to forget what is civilization and growing yourself a beard, slowly you becoming a russian. Soon you will live in a wildness with your neigbhoor Ivan Petrovich and your dog Bobik.

10/10, would get drunk in a broken truck again.
