Okay, I've played several of the games in thi series and the only one that didn't glitch, hang or crash to the desktop was 18 WOS-AA (18 Wheels of Steel - Across America), Which was the most primitive of the bunch. SCS Software who produces this line of games, has made the Holy Grail of headache producers with the Prism3D game engine. My expirence with the game... Demo installed easily, game activated quickly after coughing up the price, graphics are excellent compared with the others in the family, and the maps and city layouts kept me on my toes during play. All in all a pleasant expirence. Then out of the blue, WHAMMO! Game hung up and wouldn't do crud. After having to reboot the machine to get it unstuck, I tried again. Game proceeded to play right up to the point of using the interface to change drivers, trucks, let my dude sleep, whatever then Whammo again! Okay once was fun, twice was ticking me off. Looked on Valusoft's website and their idea of tech support is to have everything possible under the sun blamed on the user's inability to keep his/her computer updated correctly with the correct video drivers or not meet the system requirements in the first place. (ex. I got told via e-mail that my machine did not meet the specs required for the game even though I have an HP m7257c 3.0 GHZ Pentium 4 with 4.0 GB of RAM and a 512 Radeon HD 2600XT Video card) Okay, I'm ranting. So, the tech support is almost nonexistent for this game, if you can handle doing things on your own you're good, if not, steer clear. When it works the game play is good, try the high end of the difficulty ladder and it is a challenge to get from point A to B and keep your books in the black.
