CNET Editors' review
If you're looking to race big rigs, this isn't the game for you. But if you've ever looked longingly at life on the road, it's worth a try. 18 Wheels of Steel puts the player in the role of truck operator, making business decisions about which cargo to carry and which city to take it to. As the player succeeds, his or her fleet grows ultimately to 35 different trucks. Then it gets tricky. Different drivers will have expertise on different terrains. Some goods are perishable, and won't survive long hauls. Drivers have to get enough sleep on the route, or they'll run into trouble. There isn't much in the way of flashy graphics or standout special effects here, but the gameplay itself is challenging and addictive, and makes for a good addition to the simulator universe. However, the 60-minute trial period doesn't provide enough time to fully experience the game.
Publisher's Description

"good product"
Version: 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal
Pros
Overall its a great game.
Cons
Touchy braking, the on ramps are way to short, not realistic at all. 18 WOS Haulin has that figured out

"Great game!"
Version: 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal
Pros
Most of the game is pretty consistant with a real trucking job, you have weather, cops, deadlines, and bad 4 wheel drivers that pull out in front of you.
Cons
The money you make during a job is all out of proportion ($40,000 for a job just does not exist).
Summary
All in all, I'd reccomend this game to anyone that enjoys the life of a truck driver. The trucks are realistic and you can tell what kind of truck you are driving although they don't call a KW a KW (probably because of copyright laws). Game play is set at one speed (it doesn't take you a week to get from NY to CA).

"Decent..."
Version: 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal
Pros
I like the realistic part of the game and driving your own 18 wheeler can be pretty fun. I downloaded it here before I bought it at at Wal-Mart
Cons
Playability and enjoyment is short lived after a couple hours. Good game for $10 but your mostly left with the "get what you pay for" idea of the game. It's alright but nothing ground breaking or something you would become addicted to.
