  1. 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.
  2. Now, a game that was less than impressive on the Dreamcast is even less so when presented on the technically superior GameCube.
  3. The game at home offers nothing but a quick thrill, albeit a rather cheap one.
  4. Like a teenager hooking up with a lady. It’s fun while it lasts, but it doesn’t last long!
  5. Runs out of gas quickly and has all the personality of a pair of dirty mud flaps.
  6. 40
    And let’s not forget the "What th-?!" reaction you'll have when you complete the fourth level and the game’s credits start rolling!
  7. 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.
