Spintires

Drive various military vehicles and trucks on off-road courses while playing Spintires.

As the name implies, you will be spinning a lot of tires. There are numerous vehicles to choose from, most that you would see in the military. However, there are also a few trucks and cars that you can select. If you want the maximum spin while on the road, you want to get the military jeeps and trucks. The tires on these vehicles grip the road, and when you're in the mud, it's fun to see all of the dirt that's kicked up around you while you're trying to get out of the hole.

Your goal is to get large pieces of equipment and other items to a destination while driving your truck. Trucks that are heavier than others have a difficult time accessing some of the roads that you have to travel on in order to reach your destination. This is what makes the game fun and challenging. As soon as you think that the truck is able to make it up the side of a mountain, you find that your tires are spinning, preventing you from getting anywhere. There are a few challenges where you need to get the items delivered in a certain amount of time.

This is one of the better simulation games as you do need to know a little about how to maneuver a large truck in order to get it out of the mud. There is an option to get a rescue truck to pull yours out of the mud, but there is also a possibility that this one will get stuck as well if you don't know how to control it on the road. There are five different kinds of terrain to choose from; all of which can be seen on a map in the corner of the screen.
