    Has a great potential - the current release has some issues regarding stability and gameplay - hope it will be smoothed out in future updates -special controller to drivel the playertruck is mandatory.

    Its a good game but graphics are better in haulin and pedal to the metal and if that is it for the series it is only a drivin simulator. the driver never eats and never goes to a hotel

    18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul is a game that is some fun for the first 5 hours of play. I liked the open feeling to the game and the career, and the missions themselves aren't that bad either. The problems start after you play for a while and begin noticing some things. You get fined for not stopping along the route, but there are no places to sleep.

You get fined for not stopping along the route, but there are no places to sleep. The distribution of fuel is scarce, and after you hire a new driver, you don't have to play the game any more, just watch the cash flow in. This game is fun for a while, but once that wears off, you begin to rethink playing it.… Expand

    This is a good game. It can be boring. Hauling cargo across America can be boring but it lives up to it's name. To me, the only thing that keeps it from getting a 9 or 10 is the fact that the difficulty levels are screwed up. Easy is so easy it's not even fun.

Easy is so easy it's not even fun. Medium is a bit more difficult, but still fairly easy. Hard is almost unplayable. You start in a starter truck (good) with a day-cab (no sleeper). This isn't so good seeing how Hotels aren't plentiful. So you wind up dozing and perhaps damaging your truck and/or cargo. All levels should start in a sleeper, but with the basic engine (truck with trailer won't go over 55 unless it's going over a cliff) and maybe some moderate damage to the truck on the Hard level requiring servicing to get the full potential out of it which would require you to deliver some cargo to get the money for the repairs.
    All in all a good game, but it's got a few holes in it.    … Expand

    I'd like to have seen more impressive rendering of the incredible geography of the continent, but nevertheless: 18 Wheels of Steel, you are weird and brave. We salute you. [Apr 2008, p.79]
