You begin with a tutorial that gives you the basics of the game. As you are trying to complete your mission, you will come across various obstructions such as lakes, mud, forests and even running out of fuel – the key here is learning how every vehicle works and using them to your own advantage in order to progress successfully. Now I know what you’re saying, “that sounds easy, where is the gameplay in that”, to which I would have to reply ‘you clearly haven’t played the game!’ One mission is going to take you upwards of a few hours if you are playing on your own and a little less if you play multiplayer (which is the best way to play). Upon completion, you will earn a ‘Progression point’ which will unlock the next map. For example, in the first few maps I have unlocked, the mission has been the same – goto the logging camp, pick up the logs and then transport the logs to the lumber mill. Your main objective, during the single-player campaign, is to tackle various maps and meet the objectives given to you.
Spintires isn’t your standard driving simulation game, yet it isn’t a racing game.
