While we’ve profiled several free flash racing games — such as 3D Deathrace — on the site before, few of our profiled racers have combined a physics game with a side-scrolling racer. In fact, only Cyclomaniacs did that. But Extreme Trucks I melds physics with racing as well, giving the player a bump- and hill-filled dirt track to play around with. Oh, and a monster truck.

The downside of Extreme Trucks I is the lack of other racers on the field. Rather, the player’s challenge is to keep their truck upright, losing lives every time the truck lands wheels-up after a flip or bump. Ultimately, this is a less interesting gameplay mechanic than you’ll find in Cyclomaniacs, where failed flips will simply put you back at the last checkpoint, costing you valuable time versus your opponents.

Ultimately, Extreme Trucks I provides a compelling combination of speed, balance and decent graphics for a free flash racing game. It’s worth a play, so check it out below.
