    The gamecube version is the 2nd best of the three. This one has okay graphics and okay controls. The courses are WAY to short and the game lacks of design.

    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?

    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.

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

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

    Quite and ugly game. There's more pop-up than a toaster, and the music is unappealing to anyone without a straw hat. [Apr 2002, p.79]
