    This game is very detailed and has good graphics for it's date of making. American long haul has to be one of the best of 18 wheels of steel, I am in state of thought that it is nice to have a game that's not based on a different countries trucking tradition.

    Well game has liked me, more and more, is less worked, a plot excellent. Confuses a unique minus in game this that that speed of the lorry practically is not felt and it seems that you creep on road.

    I've played the game and enjoyed the realism of imaginable long hours of play. The street mapping and 1st, 2nd, 3rd person views are quite unique! Many long hours of exciting play are well worth its cost.

    Great game, but as already mentioned, the graphics could have been much better :/ AND the handling of the trucks is somewhat weird, like just like that you loose about 90% of your grip!

    This is as great as all the other games in the series. You can get your lifes biggest simulated trucker-cruise. The textures is not bad and the features is useable. So, its a game thats worth to buy, but if you already own the Haulin' game, you shouldn't pay for American Long Haul!

    great game! im a huge fan of the 18 wheels of steel series and they really out did themselves with this one by adding mexico and some new cargo. i highly recommend this game if you just like to drive and have fun on the open road. PROS: great graphics, descent geography, and very little glitches, and realistic physics and you run out of gas
    CONS: the AI is extremely stupid and frustrating,    great game! im a huge fan of the 18 wheels of steel series and they really out did themselves with this one by adding mexico and some new cargo. i highly recommend this game if you just like to drive and have fun on the open road.

    CONS: the AI is extremely stupid and frustrating, every once in a while there will be a random tree in the middle of the road, handling of the trucks is a little hard if you use a key board, and the crash generator is poor, as in you can get damage but it's not really visible unless you get it high enough then your axles bend and you loose performance. other than those problems it's a great game and i really enjoy playing it.    … Expand

    Retro game review. 18 WOS ALH Steam version.
    This is for those really hardcore virtual truckers: 18 WOS ALH is still a very good game in 2017. Because it really challenges you. Do you think you're a tough virtual trucker? Try ALH and tell me how it went... Did you make a fortune and became the ruling trucker king of the continent easily as you usually do in ETS2 or ATS? Yes, though so    Retro game review. 18 WOS ALH Steam version.

    ALH is so hard it is hilarious!

    Game is published in 2007, so it has no fancy graphics. The physics is far behind of SCS's todays quality. Which makes it even harder and more fun, if you are a really big truck game fanatic and enjoy hard gaming.

    I have only 100+ minutes in this game at the moment, but in my opinion I know what I'm talking about when comparing this old game to ETS2 and ATS. Happy gaming ;)    … 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]
