If you've always wanted to drive a truck, this is your opportunity so don't miss it out!
18 Wheels of Steel American Long Haul lets you drive one of those huge American trucks all over the United States, either in campaign mode or doing single missions. The first game mode involves being able to run your own truck company, whereas the second one puts you behind the wheel as a truck driver in charge of the most varied deliveries across the country.
I must admit I expected more from this game. The graphics are nice, but not brilliant. The music is only on while on menus and disappears during the game. However, what I didn't really like was the gameplay itself. The trucks are quite difficult to control (maybe due to the fact that I've never driven a truck in my whole life). I spent 10 minutes moving around the garage just to get my cargo trailer attached. Plus, campaign mode doesn't tell you what your missions or your aims are - or at least I wasn't able to find them in my notebook. In all, a somewhat disappointing title. You may as well give it a try and let us know what you think about it.
Become an American truck driver and take deliveries all across the United States.

18 Wheels of Steel is a good series, I have almost all of them. The thing about 10 minutes in the cargo bay isn't true, I done that in 10 sec.
Pros
-Developed by SCS
-Lots of truck available
-Detailed gameplay
Cons
-Only a few engine noises
-The traffic system is bad(They stop for no reason and they brake when it's wellow, so player's cannot stop and either crash or speed the red)
