Version: 18 Wheels of Steel - Convoy 1
"Great idea, but it seems it is a beta version"
Pros: Many different trucks to choose from. The trucks are highly detailed. The interior of the trucks are highly detailed too. Big map. Many missions. The more deliveries you complete successful, the more trucks/accessory/cargo/special missions are available.
By the way, I've found a manual and instructions at http:[slash][slash]www[dot]trucksims[dot]net[slash]convoy[dot]html (replace [slash] with / and [dot] with .), if you don't know how to find missions and so on.
Cons: NO INGAME MUSIC. There is no radio/jukebox/mp3 player built in the truck, so it is very very boring to drive 2 hours from one coast to another with not hearing any music at all. You can only hear the engine of your truck and the engines of the AI traffic. You can solve this, by playing your music in a player like WinAmp at the background.
The more game points you have, the more options becomes available, but you can't see how much game points you have. You can repair your truck, sleep in a hotel, refuel but the costs aren't given. Some streets are closed, only AI traffic can drive there. You can only drive with a double trailer in a special mission. There are 3 tutorials, but driving lessons are appreciated to drive backwards with one or two trailers.
You can sleep in a hotel, but you don't know if that is necessary.
You can't have a good pursuit by police cars. They just driving behind you, then a window popups, you get a fine (the price isn't given and the truck is rolling further without being able to control where it is driving) and when you close the window, the truck is parked with the parking break on.
There are some graphic problems, like when you are driving into a tunnel and you look to the way you are driving on, it is abruptly light (if you know what I mean).
