The “empty” space between cities is pretty boring, although that’s not totally different from real life. Towns are equipped with skyscrapers, animated planes and signs, copious amounts of traffic, and enough varied buildings to make each town appear like a real location. Most of the towns in the game feature an almost impressive level of detail, at least at a distance. The graphics and sound of 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul is exactly what you would expect for a budget game: passable.
Does 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul provide the hot merging action I crave so much? The studio that brought us the surprisingly decent Bus Driver is back with an (hopefully) enhanced version of their most famous (or infamous) series. But they have! The venerable 18 Wheels of Steel series is back with its sixth iteration: American Long Haul. If only someone could capture the fun and excitement of driving cross-country with little sleep on four-lane highways. You know, you can make more money here than in most other industries (I’ve been watching the Roadmaster commercials a bit too much).
