    Unfortunately, the biggest drawback to 18 Wheeler is the game life. This game is short. Really short.
  2. GameSpy

    Fun for a few minutes but gets played out all too quickly.

    Most players will complete all four races within an hour or two. [Mar 2002, p.133]

    Dated graphics, shallow gameplay and a playing time of about 40 minutes to an hour for the main arcade mode are just some of the reasons to avoid wasting your money on this.
  5. Gamezilla!
    48
    When the game can be completed in a hour or two, a sense of not getting your money's worth will likely be the impending feeling.
  6. Gaming Age

    The game at home offers nothing but a quick thrill, albeit a rather cheap one.
  7. All Game Guide
    40
    The simple, straightforward nature of gameplay is over far too quickly and the appealing aspect of smashing into buildings and cars is largely neglected.

    EIGHTEEN WHEELER!!! Ba ba dum da dum da dum. That intro song kinda jamming. IDK MAYN should you play it should you not? Do you like trucks? Do you like arcade checkpoint racing? Do you like over the top satisfying carnage like any of the Burnout games. Ok well picture burnout but you're in semi trucks. And there is a incredibly small rooster of trucks to choose from and an even smaller list of tracks to race/destroy thing on. I will admit playing this is a lot of nostalgia but the game lacks any long term substance. Its something you'll pick up for 20-30mins have a laugh as you slam into other cars with your semi or race a friend in local split screen for fun but then you'll be ready for the next thing. Short and sweet but not a lot of substance.    … Expand
