I have been a huge fan of R&C since my Playstation 2 days when the original dropped. It is quite amazing that even this many years later these games still provide the same experience and quality only Insomniac can deliver and I get to watch my son have his first new R&C experience.

Excellent reintroduction of what Paragon used to be. The gameplay is polished and the game is still in Alpha so it's going to get even better as it progresses. Take my money!

My thoughts and takeaways for improvement: 1) Better voiceovers/acting, 2) Better menu/game music, 3) Reintroduction of Agora map (Two map pool) allowing players to choose 35-40 minute games on Monolith or 1-1.5 hour games on the larger more immersive Agora.

Wow, where do I begin. A game like this has been long overdue; the attention to detail is stunning, along with the graphics. I maxed out my machine in 4K and it runs like butter. The team movement, cooperation, and tactics of how this game plays is unlike anything else. The hardcore setup is great, there's no silly emptying a mag to take someone down. The fact that this game is as polished as it is and isn't even truly in Alpha yet foreshadows the awesomeness to come. The attachment wheel for the guns is clutch, really makes swapping things out on the fly intuitive. Now we just need more game modes like team deathmatch, squads, etc. so we can frag with our friends.

Anyway I could go on and on on how impressed I am, you should buy it and try it out yourself. If you don't like it you can return it within two hours, but trust me YOU WON'T!

It's Fallout so as usual it's a good time, pretty good story, but falls a bit short of New Vegas; that was a much more involving plot with several twists and surprises along the way. I do appreciate being able to continue playing after beating the main questline in this iteration however.

I want to see this game suceed, I really do. But the whole game is a rehash of what we already had before. I understand the predicament that the publisher was in prior to Mudrunner, but that doesn't excuse the unpolished and regurgitated quality we received in the new game. The shifter is potato quality, and so is 90% of the menus and interactions of the game. If this developer wants to have any street cred, they had better jump on board and put some serious time into making this game more polished than a Black Dodge Viper at a car show to attract more buyers/dedicated fans. I hope they release a massive HQ 4K update with refinements in the next couple months to show what this new dev is capable of. Then you will see me change my review and promote the heck out of this game. Until then. It's spintires with a 2 after it. The 2 not indicating anything better, but merely a equally dull sequel.

Save your money, the matchmaking system in this game is abysmal. My time is valuable as a college student/ employee; so when I have time to actually play a match here or there I spent 90% of my time waiting in queue...it's rediculous. The game is also nothing like what a Tom Clancy game should be...or Rainbow Six for that matter. The player perks are really stupid and ruin the level playing field the game should have, about the only positive I give it is the tactical operations part. However, I highly doubt that counterterrorists are going to barricade walls with wooden plank walls using rope and leave a 6" gap from the floor. I just can't get into this game for the way it plays, which is just like garbage. It's honestly sad that I view counter strike as even more realistic and tactical than this game...and that's hard to say coming from Rainbow Six Vegas.

This is a really fun game, the graphics are nicely done and the physics are highly realistic. This is the type of off-roading/open world vehicular gameplay I've been looking for for years. Spintires won't disappoint you and will keep you busy for hours at a time. I am however looking forward to the possible addition of tractors to help smooth muddy roads I've ruined with huge trucks lol.

BUY IT NOW! CSS just better graphics. FPS Doug Approved.
