GameShark
Unfortunately, the biggest drawback to 18 Wheeler is the game life. This game is short. Really short.

Hot Games
It's the same old game, and a short one at that.

GameSpy
Fun for a few minutes but gets played out all too quickly.

Game Informer
Quite and ugly game. There's more pop-up than a toaster, and the music is unappealing to anyone without a straw hat. [Apr 2002, p.79]

Nintendo Power
Most players will complete all four races within an hour or two. [Mar 2002, p.133]

Electronic Gaming Monthly
Do yourself a favor and head down to your local arcade if you want to play some 18 Wheeler. [May 2002, p.112]

On the GameCube though, without adding any more to the game such as an extra character or stage, this seems a pretty pointless release of an average game.

Dated graphics, shallow gameplay and a playing time of about 40 minutes to an hour for the main arcade mode are just some of the reasons to avoid wasting your money on this.

IGN
If you're considering paying $50 for an hour's worth of racing -- without the added benefit of the arcade cabinet, horn, and steering wheel, I might add -- the novelty factor quickly runs dry.

Media and Games Online Network
Another rehashed port.
48
Gamezilla!
When the game can be completed in a hour or two, a sense of not getting your money's worth will likely be the impending feeling.

GameSpot
Now, a game that was less than impressive on the Dreamcast is even less so when presented on the technically superior GameCube.
42
Gaming Age
The game at home offers nothing but a quick thrill, albeit a rather cheap one.
40
GamePro
And let’s not forget the "What th-?!" reaction you'll have when you complete the fourth level and the game’s credits start rolling!

GameZone
Runs out of gas quickly and has all the personality of a pair of dirty mud flaps.

Nintendojo
Like a teenager hooking up with a lady. It’s fun while it lasts, but it doesn’t last long!

All Game Guide
The simple, straightforward nature of gameplay is over far too quickly and the appealing aspect of smashing into buildings and cars is largely neglected.
