I'd like to have seen more impressive rendering of the incredible geography of the continent, but nevertheless: 18 Wheels of Steel, you are weird and brave. We salute you. [Apr 2008, p.79]

Well game has liked me, more and more, is less worked, a plot excellent. Confuses a unique minus in game this that that speed of the lorry practically is not felt and it seems that you creep on road.

ELL NDM gave it a3:
The market really needs truck games.The only one i know is 18 wheels across America. The same boring cockpit and stuff. Please develop a much sophisticated game, a little bit hard to finish and much better handling of the truck...10x.

William R. gave it a10:
18wheels of steel American long haul is great! I love the trucks,routes,and the loads. The graphics are outstanding!Long hauling down the road is loads of fun. I like the routes to Mexico, this is a great game!

Thomas S.T gave it a9:
Great game, but as already mentioned, the graphics could have been much better :/ AND the handling of the trucks is somewhat weird, like just like that you loose about 90% of your grip!

Joe C. gave it a9:
I've played the game and enjoyed the realism of imaginable long hours of play. The street mapping and 1st, 2nd, 3rd person views are quite unique! Many long hours of exciting play are well worth its cost.

Luke S. gave it a1:
This game is a joke right? Why would a developer release a game that is exactly like the previous version (haulin). Yes you get a few more places to go ,but the same trucks,trailers,and upgrades as the previous game. The "18 Wheels of Steel " games are not that great to begin with but with very few other choices in the truck driving sim I believe the developers feel they can give us crappy games and we will be happy. I believe that when Rig N Roll is released you will see the end of the 18 wheels of steel franchise. What a shame.

Shane S. gave it a4:
Painfully boring. Lacks many important details such as trucking laws. You repeatedly get fined for driving too many hours yet nothing in the game tells you what is allowable. The detail is poor and missions are long and boring.
