    Good Points: The variety of Trucks are a good selling point as there are 32 to choose from, all with their own mechanical customisations in power, tyres, brakes, etc. There is also a wide variety of cargo to pull from a large number of companies. The cargo ranges from glass, to computers, to large earthmoving equipment and everything in between.

    Bad Points: The limited amount of exterior truck customisations are a real negative as there are only 3 or 4 paintjobs per truck to choose from and only some trucks can have front bumpers, exhaust pipes, larger horns or extra lights added. The graphics are also a letdown as they could be alot better. Also, the limited amount of drivable roads in towns is a little too unrealistic, like New York has more than 8 streets in it. I would also like to have seen the game allow the player to connect and disconnect B-Doubles or even take 2 trailers from different companies if your going in the same direction.

    General comments: 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul has a very basic concept, drive trucks for companies to earn money, then use that money to buy more trucks to be driven by additional drivers that you hire when you pull into hotels, thus building a trucking empire. The graphics are rather poor for a game so far along into its franchise after 'Haulin', 'convoy' and 'pedal to the metal' were brought out before it. I say that the graphics are poor but they are not terrible by any means in that the detail is limited in the other traffic on the roads, the buildings you drive by and the trailers you pull. The game is so addictive though as you just want to make it to the next town, but the next isn't far away, and the next and so on and before you know it, 3 hours has passed. This is a great game and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to live out their boyhood dream of being behind the wheel of a massive semi with nothing but the open road ahead.
