It's not quite much to say about it though. I like the setting of a small private trucker getting things across the whole of USA, although, of course, it is considerably reduced to a game-fit size.
The traffic pattern is quite excellent, as the other drivers AI is good enough to enjoy riding with them, the truck's speed and physical aspects are also very well made, and I've been impressed with the blinkers, which make it one of the best road sims I ever played.
One great thing thing they made is how to park the trailer. You have park in reverse, but trust me, with a small house behind you, it isn't the easiest thing on the earth...
The story itself isn't even a story, and gets quite boring. Like most of the truckin games I played. Too bad...
The graphics are quite good for the time it was made. The trucks are beautifuly modeled, the scenery is a little modest, but also good, the AI cars practically suck, the weather is also better than you would expect. When the rain started, it was one of the most convincing parts of the game.
There is a quite big 18W community which produces various add-ons, like trucks and mods. The on add-on I downloaded worked like a charm, so a plus with that.
But, as you might guess, just driving around luggage, nuclear waste, small houses and all sorts of other animals can get boring and it really did get. Even the fastest truck in the game is just a truck, so everything goes slowly as hell.
After 5 or 6 hours I wished that you could drive a car. Then i stopped.
