    Version: 18 Wheels of Steel - Across America 1

    "Different, Might get a cult following"

    by bdbranch on May 4, 2008

    Pros: In types of games available, the 18 wheels series is only the second of it's kind (and this 1 actually works). You are essentially a trucker. Fortunately it's easy enough to enjoy playing. It's a game that you can click new game and get into it. Driving the truck is just realistic enough to get you into a bit of trouble if you do something totally stupid, but generally it's easy enough to enjoy.

    If you always wanted something more than a circuit racing game (F1 etc), then you might like this.

    Cons: Graphics nice, gameplay nice, but ... just not enough there. It's one of those games that you wish that you could grab the developers by the scruff of the neck and shout 'why didn't you develop this further' (privateer is another example). This game could have been great, but it isn't. As it stands, the majority will love playing with it for an hour or two, then get bored and delete it.

    Ps, the cop bit is pathetic.
