Euro Truck Simulator Editor's Review

The ultimate truck driving simulator game has arrived on the PC in the form of Euro Truck Simulator. Allowing users to drive trucks all over Europe, the game features a variety of different sized trucks that you can drive with different cargo in the back.

The game allows you to hit the ground running and you’ll be in your truck and on your way to pick up your first lot of cargo in no time. The scenery is actually very pleasant, and you follow real roads between a variety of cities all around Europe. You’ll start in a country of your choosing and buy your first truck, before completing jobs to earn more and more cash.

Once you have enough money you can either buy a better truck, or upgrade your existing one. It’s up to you to fill up your truck with diesel, to turn your lights on in the dark and your wipers on in the rain. Upgrades include faster trucks, more fuel efficient engines and larger trailers.

Even the cargo you carry has different characteristics, and you can damage fragile cargo by taking bends too fast and get in trouble for not inspecting hazardous cargo.

Pro's: A great game for children and adults, accurate roads of Europe, great scenery provided by powerful graphics engine.

Con's: Can take a long time to drive between cities, particularly those that earn you the most money.

Conclusion: Euro Truck Simulator is about as real as you can get from a truck simulation game, and if you enjoy driving huge trucks or have always wanted to, then this simulator allows you to test yourself from the comfort of your own home. Can take time to build up your cash, but the upgrades make it worth the effort.
