![]() I quickly learned that this DLC is deserving of the name ‘ American Wilds’.Įach of the two new maps is still fairly big. ![]() But, in typical Spintires fashion, I was duped. ![]() I was led to believe this due to there being a lot more asphalt roads than the original Russian maps. In fact, it felt even easier than the original maps, which are based in Russia. At first glance, everything seemed straightforward. I jumped straight into Grizzly Creek as my first introduction to the new content. The devs have also added two new Challenges, along with nine new American-made vehicles. As the first paid-DLC pack for MudRunner, I think it’s safe to say that the new content is worth it for any Spintires fan.Īmerican Wilds builds upon the existing content in Spintires: MudRunner by introducing two new sandbox maps: Grizzly Creek and Mount Logmore. Now, the rough-and-tough 4×4 sim has returned to take players into the backwoods of Montana and North Dakota, USA with the new American Wilds expansion. Its complex off-road physics and realistic handling blew me away, making it one of my favorite driving simulators ever. If you don’t wish to install any additional software, we recommend you to opt out by unticking the corresponding boxes.I was introduced to the Spintires series with the original release of Spintires: MudRunner when it launched back in Fall 2017. Note: Please be aware that during the installation process of Spintires additional software will be offered to you. Nevertheless, Spintires is overall a lot of fun, but you do need patience and nerves of steel. The game is quite rugged as far as menus, interface, and controls go, but then again, so are the trucks you are operating. Spintires is not only very original, but is also very well done at a technical level. Overall, Spintires is a very realistic game. When you bump into trees and branches, they behave as they would in real life. For example, the weight of the load can sink the truck in the mud if you stop for too long. The physics are completely realistic and should be taken into consideration at all times. The same goes for effects like smoke and the movement of the mud (heavy and sticky). You have incredibly realistic trucks which move, sway, and chug in a believable way that sometimes make you forget you're playing a video game. One area where Spintires has surprised everyone is its graphics. The hardest part is getting used to the strange camera (which you can move using the mouse). It does, however, make it possible to accelerate, change direction, and use the crane, all at the same time. You'll need some time to get used to using the keyboard and mouse to control everything. Like the trucks in the game, the controls are rugged and difficult. You also have different types of truck at your disposal, which you can customize as you gain experience points with extras such as trailers, cranes, larger loads, and fuel tanks. It's very important to explore and see what's out there. Although you have a map to consult, it's not actually all that useful seeing as the game conceals parts of the terrain so that you don't know where to go. ![]() Spintires has five different terrains to play through, all around the same level of difficulty, but very different. Some of these monsters use up to 30 liters of fuel per minute! If you run out, you know what to do: call the fuel truck, of course. You also have to control the damage to the vehicle and the amount of gas you use. It's a lot of fun, especially when it takes over half an hour for the second truck to arrive. You may even end up getting both trucks stuck and having to use a third truck to pull them both out. If things get too difficult, you can always change vehicles and rescue the one that's stuck in the mud (you'll have to do this many times). Over time, you'll learn how to use the tow cable when you need it, and you can attach the cable to trees to help get you out of any nasty ditches you might get stuck in. You have to drive very carefully not to get stuck, using four-wheel drive and the differential lock properly. ![]() These trucks, however, require control so close to that of a real truck, that Spintires is one of the best simulators I've tried in a while. ![]()
