    Smuggle Truck, another Trials ripoff.

    It's by far the best one so far too but even if the goal of the game is not exactly the same as Trials there are so many things that are ripped off from Trials 2 and Trials HD that I am even wondering if this constitutes unlawful copyright infringement, it's not a free game either, they are selling it... Check it out for yourself, you decide. There is a free demo.

    I never said it was the closest, I said it was the most well done, crazy wheels kinda sucks IMO, I can't stand to play that game for some reason..

    Re: Smuggle Truck, another Trials ripoff.

    From what I have played so far here my breakdown of this game:

    Although the goal of the game is slightly different than Trials, they have copied pretty much everything else...

    Race from left to right, but you carry people, similar to the Delivery skill game in Trials HD, people of course don't explode when dropped but the medals you win depend of a combination of the number of people successfully carried to the end and the time it took.

    Tracks are divided in 4 categories: Easy, Medium, Hard and Extreme.

    Press R to restart, afterburner pickups, level editor. It probably does not infringe on any trademark but let's say without the shadow of a doubt that the inspiration almost exclusively came from the Trials and Monster Truck Nitro series.

    This said, the game is actually more than decent, I was more than surprised to find out that it's actually a technically sound, visually pleasing and addictive game, not to mention the un-politically correct social commentary (the people you carry in the truck are illegal immigrants going for the border*) I have to recommend to anyone who likes playing with wheels and physics to get the free demo.

    *If this offends you, you can change Smuggle Truck into Snuggle Truck easily by clicking at the top of the menu screen, the illegal immigrants are then changed to plush animals.
