There’s great news for off-roaders who can’t get enough: ULTRA4 Racing has made it possible for you to test your best moves on some of the most well-known terrains of 4×4 action, from the rocks of Moab to the dunes of the Mojave Desert. Teaming up with names such as Bestop, Nitto Tire, GenRight, King Shocks, Spidertrax, Trail-Gear and MetalCloak, ULTA4 Racing partnered with Gigabit Games to deliver a surprisingly realistic experience. It’s the closest you can get to the actual thing, at the paltry price of just $1.99 on Google Play or iTunes.

Now available for Android and any smartphones and tablets using iOS operating systems, ULTRA4 Offroad Racing is a new game that puts you in the driver’s seat as you scramble across virtual landscapes based on real-world courses such as MetalCloak Stampede, King of the Valleys, and Griffin King of The Hammers courses. There’s even a Baja track, which can require upwards of 15 minutes to conquer-this game takes itself quite seriously, in case you can’t tell.

Players start off with a stock rig, but will soon find access to other sweet vehicles as they progress through the levels (or pay an extra $.99, whatever suits you better). In all, there are six to choose from: Stock, Modified, Unlimited, and Rock Buggy, as well as two UTVs in a two-seat or four-seat configuration.

There’s hours of fun as well as attention-to-detail that’s been packed into this game. With a career mode and time-trial mode, as well as tuning options to determine pre-race, such as whether to add or subtract to or from the stiffness of the springs and dampening of the shock absorbers, it makes you feel more in control of the vehicle you’re about to drive.

But believing this game can’t deliver on realism is simply judging a book by its cover. In fact, I found out the hard way that brazenly going full-throttle would have my hapless racer doing endo after endo, as I mistakenly sped too hotly off a deceptively small hill. Even climbing rocks was frustrating at first, as I had to learn to ease off the throttle to gain more traction.

Gigabit Games did a great job, and definitely set a benchmark for future off-road games on mobile platforms. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go catch some air in my truck.

If this were real life, I’d likely need some welding done to the tube frame … and my neck.
