If your into offroading there hasnt really been much choice since PC gaming took off, infact screamer 4x4 was probably the best game to date. even though know it now looks like a ps one game the physics & realism are still there.
since then there hasnt been much, UAZ ultimate drive was pretty bloody good as even by todays standards the graphics are pretty shit hot, but today a mate of mine put me on to this little gem.
Its called, or atleast roughly translates to "OFF ROAD DRIVE" and is made by our communist friends over in the russian district
Basicly its the first game ive seen where the terrain actually deforms decently. ie, you can dig trenches... then actually get stuck in them until the point you need to winch out. The suspension physics etc are all spot on and things like difflocks etc all do exactly what they are supposed to.
the full version is available in all the usual places, and there is a russian demo available HERE (http://files.games.1c.ru/pp3/demo/pp3_demo_setup_offline.exe). Be patient as the demo averaged about 40kb/sec for me and I couldnt find a better link anywere.
