"Fun and addicting game"
Pros: Fun, and addicting,
Cons: Graphics and cities could use improvment
Summary: This game isn't a hardcore graphics game, but it is still fun, and addictive. You start out with a truck ( how good it is depends on the difficulty level) and you start to take loads from city to city. You are given an options of loads and cities to choose from. While driving, other drivers will often ask about the weather, traffic, etc, and you can respond. You can ask too. The weather changes as well, there are different levels of rain, and snow. If you run a red light, crash, need sleep. etc, your heat level will go up and when you pass a police he will start to chase you, and if he catches you you will be fined. There is an ok amount of variation in the traffic, but after a while the cars get repetitive. Your will have to sleep, if your truck has a place for it you can sleep in it by advacing time, if it doesn't you will have to stop at a hotel. Your gas also needs to be refilled as you go. When you get the money, you can buy new trucks and trailers. You can hire drivers to work for you as well as you go on in the game. One thing that I don't like about this game is that the cities really need improvement. Big cities like Houston and Chicago are really small and you usually don't have many buildings. The game isn't very demanding of system requirements, so most computers can run it. There are a few glitches in the game as well. Once I found my self stuck in a cement barier, and when I called 911, they didn't do anything. If you like driving, then this game is for you, but you will also need patience if you want to go long distances.
