My kids say this game is a lot better than other trucking sports meeting they’ve played. The graphics are pretty excellent and the action is realisitic. (When you go owing to a red light or alacrity, the police give chase.) But, it gets repetitive after a while. For example, once you’ve hired a new driver for your trucking job, there’s always plenty of cash available without you having to do anything. By and large, though, it’s a decent game and they delight in playing it.

My son enjoys this game so much, you have to peel him away from it. We had a small distress getting it loaded at first, but once we got the graphics card and got it running he just likes it to death. “it makes you feel like you are really driving a truck” he says. boys and girls will get a kick out of real life simulator sports meeting. It helps them focus and learn.

If you don’t feel like reading too much, view the pros and cons at the bottom. For a lot of sports meeting, simplicity is splendid. Somehow this game manages to be overly unadorned, yet uncomfortable uninformative. Now, before i go too much further, let me say, I have played 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal and loved it when I played it a few years ago. I like the Thought of the 18 Wheels of Steel series, but over all, it is poorly executed. First, there is no tutorial. This would have greatly increased the accessibility of the game, but, you are just thrown in and expected to learn only from experience. Also, Pedal to the Metal incorporated a reputation feature that made you work your way up. This game lacks that completely, therefore you can haul no matter what, whenever – taking away from the “risk-reward” feeling of the game. The graphics are terrible. The physics of the trucks are ok, but everything else is rather cheap. If you set the game on hard, it’s rather hard to get the game going, but once you make your first few deliveries, you’re in the clear for excellent. There is no competition to compete with. This sports meeting is really, too unadorned. And why the heck is this considered a sim? At best, it’s a approach game. All you control is alacrity, steering, fuel, and sleep. There is no air pressure control, no breakdowns, not blown out tires, and the crashes are… disappointing. I tried to keep this as small as I could, but there is just so much to complain about! haha It makes me reflect SCS simply exists to make a profit off of low budget titles that take a month to throw together.
PROs
–It can take up to a week and a half (game time) to make cross-country deliveries — a huge appeal for goal-oriented people like myself
–The very beginning of the game (if set on hard) can be quite challenging
–The concept is awesome
–Increased number of trucks, trailers, and cargo from previous sports meeting
CONs
–Graphics are not anything to be captivated by
–No reputation feature
–Way too simple after the first few deliveries
–No competition
–No tutorial
–Lack of conditions to control (such as air/oil pressure, flat tires, breakdowns, etc.)
–Redundant Gameplay
–No “missions” – too open finished
–No timed delveries
–the list goes on, but these are my major concerns.

I reflect the game is really fun! I feel like I’m in fact driving a truck. I’m doing a Campaign with over $1,000,000. But, it needs improvements. It should have at least one city in each state. There are not many cities on the East Coast. Philadelphia is an vital city yet they do not have it on there, but they have less vital cities like Santa Cruz and Roswell. They should also have a point where you can unlock the roads behind the x’s. They should also make every car’s speeding different. Every car’s alacrity on a back road is 45 mph. There should be a way to pass them without making your legal bar go up. And when you’re in a bus lane or a lane without any traffic, sometimes there are construction cones closing that lane. They should be more realistic and place signs up before that. It’s a fun game but needs to be more realistic.

I play 18 Wheels of Steel at least once a day. It uses real time so 1 minute equals 1 hour in the game. This isn’t like any other industrialist game. YOU guide YOUR own truck. There are also real life trucks that go by different names like a Peterbuilt Truck is called a Appeasing Truck. You can hire Operators that you find in Hotels to guide all your incredible trucks you buy and upgrade. Speaking of Hotels there are Weigh Stations, Gas Stations with real prices, and your own Headquarters that you can service your Trucks in. You have a real road map with real police watching your every go. If you break a law , you will guide buy a police on down the road. He will either Blue light you are automatically give you your voucher. Be careful and don’t borrow too much cash because once you go Bankrupt, GAME OVER.
