1NSANE Demo

Racing games usually feature fast cars and all the nitro they can carry, not to mention flashy paint jobs and outrageous rims. However, off-road racing simulators have to put their money into other areas, because low bumpers are of no use out in the mountains. Not only that, but the simulation must take into consideration a variety of factors when the cars have to deal with off-road terrain.

1NSANE is one of the most well-known racing games out there, and it barely features any asphalt. In fact, the maps are nothing but dirt and bumps in every direction, and there are no crowded cities to gaze at while you drive around. Instead, all you have to do is drive between checkpoints and try to outsmart the opponents, while keeping your vehicle intact along the way.

The game is a simulator in some regards, because the vehicles react realistically to the bumps and the collisions with other objects. On the other hand, all you have to do in order to repair your car is press the Backspace key, which completely fixes the vehicle in a few seconds. However, the goal of the game is to provide you with fun, and it offers a lot of that, thankfully.

There are many unusual vehicles and tracks to choose from, as well as a variety of game modes. Regardless of what car you use or where the action takes place, the experience should be entertaining anyway, because it’s all about the competition between players. Each mode encourages the drivers to drive as recklessly as possible, while the damage system is punishing enough to make you regret the decision to floor it.

The visual quality is more than decent when you consider the year the game was released in, especially when it comes to the vehicles and the damage system. Each part of the car can bend if you bump it into the environment, not to mention the fact that wheels can fly off entirely. The maps are a tad disappointing, but you don’t need much to have fun with jeeps, fortunately.

All things being equal, 1NSANE has the perfect combination of realism and fun, which means that you can enjoy it even now, after so many years. Hence, if you are on the lookout for something exciting to play with your friends, this might as well be the answer.
