    Great game, but still a few irritants here and there such as at-grade crossings on interstate highways, the retarder bug, wonky GPS, but it's well worth a 77, given the low price of the game.

    stupid traffic AI and behavior
    no physics
    outdated game engine
    stupid "random" road-blocking system
    few trucks with small differences
    bugs and glitches
    idiotic game design - you can't even fit in lots of gas stations and cargo points.
    DLC=greed

    +finally they allow users to drive straight!

    Overall, the game is excellent. The time taken to acquire the rights to the multiple brands found within the game are astounding. The basic mechanics are sound and the graphics are excellent. The repetition of the missions can become stale after a while but the ability to hire and manage a stable of drivers adds a small amount of variety.

The basic mechanics are sound and the graphics are excellent. The repetition of the missions can become stale after a while but the ability to hire and manage a stable of drivers adds a small amount of variety. The developers essentially modded the popular Euro Truck Simulator, and included the limited areas of both California and Nevada. With the addition of Arizona coming in a future DLC update. Overall the game is an excellent offering, and is a sound purchase for fans of both simulators and the ETS franchise.… Expand

    America, the release of the game, which is good. But a lot of American simulator - bad and not modified.
    The heavily scaled-down maps are the worst thing in games, especially when it comes to real-world terrain.
    Station scales of cargo - I do not see indicators of my checks on weight!? This is only a model and nothing more. Police - model and simulation. There is no prosecution of    America, the release of the game, which is good. But a lot of American simulator - bad and not modified.

    Police - model and simulation. There is no prosecution of offenders, and it is necessary to a complete stop and issue a fine.
    There are many large and famous cities, small map scale and precise construction of highways in some places.

    This game still needs many of the big improvements. I believe this is an early release and we had to weigh everything before release is not in full objective game.    … Expand

    É um euro truck pouco modificado até o ícone do mapa tem como legenda mapa da Europa o que podia ter mudado. A ambientação ta muito boa, as multas são caras, o mapa não e muito grande, os gráficos estão bem iguais aos do ets2 e também houve gente que não gostou pelo jogo não ser compatível com windows de 32 bits.

Os npc's continuam muito burros: se eu bater pago multa se eles me baterem eu não pago quando me danificarem o camião e carga eu tenho de pagar tudo o que é mesmo muito chato no inicio do jogo pois isso acenteceu uma vez e foi muito cato ter de arranjar o camião com 27% de danos e a carga ficou com 2% o que já tirou algum xp e dinheiro no final.
    Ainda espero que o jogo melhore muito com dlc's.    … Expand

    This is a decent game, but it has many problems. I'll get to that in a bit. I actually picked up ETS2 first, then picked up ATS a few months later on sale. It's better than ETS2, but not much. I'll give a quick run down here on my take in the good and bad stuff.

    THE GOOD Nice character creation; male & female drivers. Leveling and skill points system is nice. Very detailed world.    This is a decent game, but it has many problems.

    THE GOOD

    Nice character creation; male & female drivers.
    Leveling and skill points system is nice.
    Very detailed world.
    Great graphics. Things look real!
    Full night/day cycles.
    Realistic weather (Rain/Storms)

    THE BAD

    No snow. Seriously?
    No exhaust smoke.
    Auto saves too frequently. No option to shut it off.
    Needs more pedestrians (all ages) in cities. It's too bare.
    Buses have no occupants. Even the school buses.
    Police ticket you automatically. No pull overs.
    AI is unrealistic. Vehicles crash into you, and you get the fine!
    Needs more states added, especially to the east and north.
    Few glitches here and there.
    Visual damage from accidents is never seen. That's just dumb.
    Penalized for late deliveries/ No bonus for early deliveries.
    No injuries in crashes. Even head on doing 80 mph! Really?

    That's about it. As you can see, (at least IMHO) the bad far outweighs the good. My biggest beef is the AI driving. It's really bad and could certainly use some improvement. They drive like maniacs! They are constantly speeding, swerving like drunks, running lights/stop signs, and causing tons of accidents. However, they don't get fines. Only your player(s) get fines. That's just silly, unfair and unrealistic. The way police ticket you is dumb as well. They don't pull you over. You just automatically get a ticket. And they can ticket you from the other side of a highway, going in the opposite direction. lol. Now, that's just stupid. Any ways, the game needs more realism.

    Examples...

    Trucks getting dirty, tire blowouts, driver injuries, snow/ice, actual police pull overs, manually hook and unhook trailers, fires, driver aging, need to eat at diners or restaurants, etc. Now those kind of things would really add more needed life into this game. As it stands, I give it an 5 which I think is more than fair.    … Expand

    Molto belle le ambientazioni e i camion, solo che la mappa è veramente piccola e i carichi vengono pagati pochissimo e c'è sempre quella cacchio di polizia che rompe i coglioni.

    EN:
    Worse than ETS2. The map is still extremely small, as is the number of trucks. But extremely beautiful landscapes of the western part of the United States. The ride is so relaxing.

    SRB:
    Lošije od ETS2. Mapa je i dalje izuzetno mala, broj kamiona takođe. Ali izuzetno lepi predeli zapadnog dela SAD-a. Vožnja je tako opuštajuća.

    After having played ATS for over a dozen hours I put it aside and returned to Euro Truck Simulator 2. Right now ATS is just a foundation for a game and it will take a couple of DLCs to fill it properly with content. [04/2016, p.60]

    Fundamentally a curiously lovable game - one of long, lonely roads, of painstaking parking manoeuvres, and slapstick write-offs when simple turns are misjudged. There's nothing else quite like SCS's brand of cargo-hauling action. [April 2016, p.119]

    A fine delivery of the simulated life of an American truck driver and the logistics of the job.
