1C Company has released their Off-Road Drive, an off-road racing simulation with a lot to offer the kind of people who like to go driving their trucks across hazardous landscapes and terrain. The game allows virtual drivers to utilize all manner of off-road technologies such as 4-wheel drive, locking differentials, tire pressure, low gears, winches, and more. The game features a very nice physics system which gives vehicles realistic “feel” and terrain response.

What We Liked:
- Numerous off-road vehicle controls.
- Above-average visuals.
- Interesting courses and terrain to deal with.
- Fun physics modeling.
- Inexpensive price point.

What We Thought Sucked:
- Sometimes the visuals take an unexpected dip (no pun intended) in terms of terrain deformation.
- Many of the terrain types can be crossed by simply going into 4-wheel drive mode and popping vehicles into a low gear.
- Sometimes annoying implementation of winch system.
[/wpcol_1half_end]Overall, 1C Company’s Off-Road Drive features a ton of high-quality off-road content for PC driving game fans. It is definitely not an experience like F1 2011 or GRID, but that is the whole point of the off-road simulation. At its current price point, racing game fans owe it to themselves to branch out and try some mud bogging with Off-Road Drive.
