British software outfit Oovee has been tweaking and beta-testing their off-road simulator SpinTires for many moons. Now that the full-featured version is almost ready to go, I'm ready to believe this game might be the first and last title for ultra-realistic, aesthetically beautiful, off-road adventuring.
SpinTires might be the first game to capture what off-roading's all about; technical challenges and exploration, since ; a simple but graphically engaging open-world off-road game I killed hours with at my college work study job.
Extreme levels of vehicle customization, a nuanced control interface, and graphics good you can smell the pine trees sounds like a killer combination for hours of entertainment. Sure it's no replacement for the gut-gyroscoping experience of a real outdoor truck adventure, but sometimes even the most stalwart of us just wanna relax and not deal $1,000's in damage to our daily driver.
SpinTires will be officially released on PC June 13th, check out these previews or and let me know if you're as fired up as I am. The trailer above cuts to the action quickest, but if you want a little more in-depth breakdown here are some impressions from one of those game-narrating video game testing guys:
