    This is a race game based off of momentum and is very addicting. I would say this game could be considered a hidden gem because it is very simple to play but hard to master. It looks much simpler than it actually is. Those who think this is a pure race game will be hugely disappointed and claim the game is slow and sucks, but to those who can grasp the concept of pulling a huge trailer andThis is a race game based off of momentum and is very addicting. I would say this game could be considered a hidden gem because it is very simple to play but hard to master. It looks much simpler than it actually is. Those who think this is a pure race game will be hugely disappointed and claim the game is slow and sucks, but to those who can grasp the concept of pulling a huge trailer and the slow steady momentum gain which builds as you travel then this game shifts into cult classic territory. The game is quite short and a great game just to beat in a couple hrs or less. Only 4 races and you beat the game and get a score. This is arcade mode which is essentially half of the entertainment the disc provides. The other half of the disc is score attack, going around 3 laps of one chosen track destroying bonus vehicles. Anyway, the key about this game is the uniqueness of pulling a lot of weight and how that speed and weight is the game and the race part comes after keeping check of controlling the weight you are managing. Its unique, well done and is easy pick up and play without a life's dedication to enjoy fully. People should not only own huge awesome next generation games but also some challenging classics made back in the day. Glad to own this smaller title it's refreshing to go back and enjoy old school goodness! It's an arcade style game, much like a comic is not a full length book and I can appreciate this title is short, but sweet.… Expand

    I reckon, you should rent this game, and then play it for all its worth, all of its glorious 18-wheeler bliss (all two-plus hours), and then get on with your life.

    It's not like playing 18-Wheeler isn't fun; it is. The problem is that it's over far too quickly and doesn't compare well to "Crazy Taxi" in terms of variety and replayability.
