I have got this game,and I love it.After reading the reviews and seeing that they liked it so much,I decided to give it a try.I loved it the minute I heard the opening theme song(which is,by the way,a cool song).These people must have put alot of work to it to make it be a hit.This is my favorite 18 wheels of steel game.Too bad the people didn't put alot of work into 18 wheels of steel Convoy,It was TERRIBLE!I wonder if they will make another 18 wheels of steel game.If they do,I hope they work on it awhile before they put it on the shelves at the stores.This game is #1!

This is a really good simulation game and is more fun than just driving around. There are plenty of places to go to, plenty of cargoes to haul, and more 200 different routes to get there. There are three modes: Company boss, employee, and owner-operator mode. I have yet to try the first and third but it is very fun already

Hey!! This game is ok on the verge of pretty good. Sometimes the truck won't go, and is very slow. I don't know why. But when it does go it is pretty good. The truck turns pretty fast so sometimes you spin out of control, and the graphics arent the best, choppy and the lights change quickly, so DON'T go through yellow ones!! But you still have time to slip on through if you need too. (say your late or something) I guess the modes of the games are fun, but the title of the game is pedal to the metal.. well it seems that all the cars are going way faster then you, and YOU have to go on the shoulder just so they will pass you when THEY are in the passing lane. The cities aren't crowded, with many cars, like the game stated. The game is a little built up... It is not as good as "Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel" and "18 Wheels of Steel across America", but all in all, it is not a bad game.
