I got the leading truck and trailer badly stuck in the water, as well as getting the trailer of the following truck jammed. And we had to cross some pretty deep water. And each truck was pulling a trailer, so it was quite a parade. I had to drive two trucks simultaneously (you do this using a winch connection, which the game uses to activate an AI driver).
There also was a pretty awesome challenge.
#Spin tires game controls mods#
There are (currently) eleven mods that are listed as "certified" which I'm guessing means the developer has tested and approved them. And with Steam Workshop support there are several more maps available and a number of vehicles. Now you can restart a map using different vehicles so as to get a chance to try using them. So I wouldn't say that the game has a lot of long term potential, it kind of depends on how much you'd get out of playing on a map you've already explored. Also the two DLC maps come unlocked and each can generate a progress point, so you aren't forced to take maps in a certain order. But there's nothing like a show stopper that just blocks progress. It's not really all that hard to get the objectives (so far, getting logs from the cutting site to the lumber mill), which is to say that it requires some planning, a lot of careful driving and maybe an unplanned run with a truck having fuel or repair points. I didn't like this at first, but I can understand it's just part of the campaign. I've completed another map, which is to say I've completed the objectives which generates a progression point so I can unlock further maps. I'm playing in Casual mode so it's not an issue for me. As for Diff Lock, supposedly it makes steering less effective and in hardcore mode you can damage your diff lock if you use it inappropriately. Īs I understand it, using AWD uses a lot more fuel, which on some maps might mean having to run out a fuel truck. Is there any point in ever using anything other than all wheel drive and such? I dont get why it gives you everything to start with. Im still installing the original SpinTires off and on.
#Spin tires game controls free#
There are two free DLCs and lots of mods in the Steam Workshop, which bodes well for the game. In the image below you can see how badly I tore up the ground to the right, I'm now moving around on a slight side incline with rocks rather than go through that mud again. So if you turn the front wheels to the left, for instance, you then have to apply right stick in order to straighten them out, rather than just releasing the spring loaded stick. I got thrown off by the steering till I realized that unlike every other driving game I've played, the steering is not self centering (which I'm sure is probably realistic to these vehicles). The cameras are OK and the controls decent. I finally got out by using my winches (you have fore and aft winches) to eventually extricate my truck and use a slight detour, since the ground you chew up stays chewed up through the mission. I was transporting some heavy logs and got really, really bogged down and the more I spun my tires the more the ground was dug up.
The mud driving is fun and feels realistic.
It's not an in-depth, cerebral game but it's more than just driving around in the mud, there are challenges and missions and things to do. I've done the tutorial and a couple of challenges. I picked up this game on a mid-week Steam Sale (good till the 20th) and I have played about 70 minutes.
