    Its gameplay isn't imaginative or original, but if you're looking for a quick fix of destructiveness, Apocalypse gets the job done. [Oct. 2006, p.108]

    The problem is that they failed at making either the storyline or the action engaging and fun.

    Given the decidely mixed gameplay, you have to have a certain love of kitsch to get far in Hard Truck Apocalypse. [Oct. 2006, p.68]

    I was under whelmed by this game. It seemed a game with all of the right elements, but they never really came together in a way that 'smelled as sweet' as a game by any other name.

    Just too boring to recommend to anyone looking for a good car-combat game.

    Hard Truck: Apocalypse takes an interesting premise and strips away all but the most mundane elements, leaving you to drive down a long and unexciting road to nowhere.

    Most of the trucks ride like they should be carting oranges or vending-machine refills, instead of chasing bandits. Pushing them down the road with a keyboard ain't much fun-and driving eats up almost all of your playing time.

    The more interesting large-scale fire fights and planning truck upgrades provide some reasons to stick with it, along with nostalgia for dear old Interstate 76. If only Targem had concentrated on lending the missions more of the depth I76's sported, the other faults would be far more forgivable.

    In the end, HTA is succeeds as a demonstration of how good a budget title can look, rather than succeeding as a compelling experience.

    Nuclear holocaust survivors in a post-apocalyptic world filled with people wearing clown masks may find Hard Truck: Apocalypse to be an effective training tool, but anyone looking for a good game should look elsewhere.

    The vast world with bandits and weapon-packed vehicles is an interesting idea, but being forced to meander back and forth across it just to earn a few scraps of cash makes the whole thing boring.

    This game is bad, but grows on you. But as it grows it doesn't stop being bad, you just start tolerating it a bit better, like you would a mangy shabby old dog who poops all over the place and bites your friends when they come over. You can't help it, it's not that you like that dog, it's just that you have to keep it for some inexplicable reason. 3.5… Full Review »
