    Even if you're not the fan of the 18 wheelers, do yourself a favor and try this game. Nothing can replicate that peculiar feeling of driving across the States at 4AM while your radio is tuned to "Road to hell".

    American Truck Simulator scratches the exact same itch that Elite: Dangerous does. While they’re vastly different games, both evoke a sense of the wide open road, of the perfect road trip. Both give you freedom and put you in control of your own destiny and your own direction. Both are ridiculously compelling and they let you set your own pace.

    Excellent successor of Euro Truck Simulator holds to proven concept and adds a few nice features but currently it suffers from an acute shortage of content. [Issue # 261]

    Driving from A to B to C and back - it's a good job simulation with lots of atmosphere but also with room for improvement.

    American Truck Simulator reflected the anxious reality, but also allowed me to appreciate the grandeur of it all. I can finally see what I presume most other Americans have always enjoyed: Endless waves of asphalt paved just for me, veining the contiguous southwest, begging to be casually traversed.

    ATS will surely appeal to trucking veterans who are desperate to explore a fresh location, but for newcomers to the franchise, I implore you, go back and experience Euro Truck Simulator 2 first.

    American Truck Simulator is not a completely new game. Despite whatever its developers say, this is just a big stand-alone expansion for Europe Truck Simulator 2, complete with the same engine, UI and all-too familiar problems.

    I you compare ATS to the few years old DLC rich Euro Truck 2, you can say its small. But remember Euro Truck how did it start? Same small.

    Apesar de ser "igual" o euro truck o jogo é simplesmente fantástico e simula muito bem a vida real.

    I see it as a huge expansion to the euro game - with a small map that is less interesting due to a lack of speed cameras and water routes

    Worse than ETS2. The map is still extremely small, as is the number of trucks. But extremely beautiful landscapes of the western part of the United States. The ride is so relaxing.

    SRB:
    Lošije od ETS2. Mapa je i dalje izuzetno mala, broj kamiona takođe. Ali izuzetno lepi predeli zapadnog dela SAD-a. Vožnja je tako opuštajuća.    … Expand
