I tried the demo with a friend and I must give this brief review.
1st, I'd like to say that almost each time a game looks too good to be true, it usually is. It's pretty rare for me that a game delivers what I expected. Was this game an exception? You bet your !@#$%^ *** it is!
I was pretty impressed by this game, one thing is for sure, I'm buying it as soon as it comes outThe only thing that wasn't much my cup of tea is sometimes I feel like the game is too realistic, stuff like filling up your gas tank and having to drive to events.
But it didn't make the game less enjoyable. Sounds effects are pretty tight, but the music is some bland & generic alternative rock, but once again, music isn't what I look for in a game either. Just crank up winamp and get over it. Graphics are good looking, not as beautiful as PURE but it does the job and has nice blur effects as well. It doesn't need a high end machine to run too
The controls are really nicely done. The way you can map your buttons is really well thought of and doesn't limit your freedom. The way the vehicles handle are, in fact, the most accurate model of driving trucks in extreme conditions I've ever seen, but even though it's very realistic, it's not making the game any less fun, au contraire. The suspension is really unlike any game I've seen and you won't have to go far in the game to try it out because the first race is a Rock Trials raceand soon after that there is a mad hill climb with an offroad formula, which is a 1000 HP Rock Crawler!
Another strong point, this game was made by a small team of Indie developers, and they will sell their full game for 10 Euros! This game is as good or better than most A titles (provided it's your type of game) and at this price it's a steal + you are supporting some hard working independant game devs like our beloved devs here at Redlynx![]()
Final verdict: This game probably has the best quality/price ratio I've seen after Trials 2 SE![]()

I recommend also UAZ 4X4. http://www.1cpublishing.eu/game/uaz-racing-4x4/overview
That is very good off-road simulation.
Don't take it the wrong way man, but please, never mention that game in a 50 mile radius of Motorm4x because it just doesn't stand any form of comparison other than the genre, evidently. UAZ must have the most awkward and bugged physics that I've ever seenSeriously, if you liked that game you have to try Motorm4x.
Just look at how vehicles handle in both games...

I even think the game 1nsane, which is 10 years old, is much better than UAZ. Not to mention Screamer 4x4, also WAY better than UAZ. I am all about physics and control, that's why I love Trials 2 and I hate UAZ.
downloaded the demo and it's preeetty good, i think i'm gonna buy it when it comes out =)
QC I couldn't get the demo to download from the link, dunno if anyone else is having problems with it but I found a link that works for the demo if anyones interested
