This being the third in the 18 Wheels of Steel series, it's still a very good version. Graphics are great and the trucks are pretty cool to drive. It's best to have a good wheel to drive the trucks with but you can opt to use a mouse. I understand the later versions are not mouse supported. You must have a wheel with them. You start off as an employee and are given a crappy truck to drive. As you gain more experience, you get upgraded with prestige points and a better truck. Second step is to become an owner operator in which you now can pick and chose the freight you want to haul. As an owner operator you are also allowed to buy and sell trucks of your choosing. Third step and ultimate goal is to become a company boss. You now may hire and fire employees on your way to making millions. Sounds like fun? Well, it is but you must start out at the bottom of the ladder gaining experience and prestige points to achieve your goals. Although this game has a few years on it, it's still a lot of fun and very playable to this very day. Have fun and enjoy!Read full review
I would actually rate this game VERY GOOD. Bought this game for my friend's 9 year-old son. He loves it. Plays constantly - after only about a week, he is already asking his Dad for another version (Long Haul). I have not spent too much actually playing, but it looks to be a pretty well thought out game - truck has lights, horn, wipers, several views for lining up the trailer, etc. Graphics are good, and it's nice that the game uses 'actual' cities & highways - a little bit of a geography lesson while playing. One negative (although this is most likely done purposely by the designers so as not to discourage kids...??) - when watching him play, there did not seem to be any "penalty" for hitting other vehicles, and the 'damage meter' barely moved when he crashed into guard-rails, etc. Overall, lots of fun.Read full review
My kid's received the trial version of this program in the mail and played it all the time. Once the trial version though was over they really missed it. So it was nice to get the whole game and see all three of my kids playing it and laughing and just having a good time being together and playing the game. That's what i enjoy is watching them have fun together on this game versus just one child doing it alone for hours....
The game was a Xmas gift for my 27 yr old son. He loves it.Says it is terribly addictive and the challenges just keep you playing. Thrilled to find a PC game that has so much action, it keeps you thinking all the time. The game advances to many levels and you can continue your current level from a previous play time. Excellant purchase!
Excellent graphics, easy to see, easy to operate for kids and adults. Once you've started the game you lose total track of time. My husband drives truck for a living and still plays this game when he gets home.
