Title  crossout

Introduction  Have you heard about fantastic game where cars and trucks are fighting? Its free and weird you can make the cars or trucks yourself.  The game is called Crossout.

The Builds . In crossout you can make cars from your imagination. Test drive your vehicles against bots (bots are computer vehicle's) and level up to get more parts to make your car bigger.

The battles. To level up you need to fight online players. If you win you get parts but if lose you get scrap.  

The market. This is where you go to buy parts (not with real money)  and when you need to sell parts. You get 50% off the stuff you sell. Scrap is the best thing to sell but you can only sell 100 scrap pieces every time.

The most fun thing to do for me is the exhibition its when you drive other people's cars that they have invented. You also get good ideas to use when making your own cars. My favorite is the battleship with wheels.

Concluding Statement   I recommend to get crossout because it's free, fun and teaches you about car and trucks.
