Still, the different parts of the country you are driving in are different enough and there is a decent selection of different vehicles on the road.
To be fair this is a game that is the better part of two decades old as I write this. I would not say that they are rough, more that they are showing their age. The visuals of the game are a tad rough, actually, that is a bit harsh. The “story” of this game is that you are wanting to make a name for yourself in the trucking world so you are going coast to coast proving that you are the best around when it comes to delivering loads no matter how big they are or how tight the delivery deadline is. It is something I have always found fascinating. Be it any of the TV shows that showcase it or video games like 18 Wheels of Steel: Across America. Life On The Road!ĭespite never driving a truck myself I have always had an interest in the world of truck driving.
While it may be rather “old” in comparison to other trucking games even including its sequels, this is still a fun time. I get the impression that this is what they really wanted that first game to be. Incredibly this was released all the way back in 2003, only a year or so after the first game in the series. What we have here with 18 Wheels of Steel: Across America is the second game in this long-running series.
