Hard Trucking, Now In Europe

Can the upcoming Euro Truck Simulator really deliver the same open-road mythos as its predecessor, 18 Wheels Of Steel: American Long Haul? I can't see how it can: even the name is less interesting. And European lorries are rubbish. 18 Wheels, incidentally, is the greatest trucking game ever conceived - a bit like Elite if it were based an American road-lore film starring Patrick Swayze. It's the only haul 'em up I'll ever need. Don't believe me? Play the demo and tour the sinisterly miniaturised America in your grand "rig".

Euro Truck Simulator will be published in the UK on the 29th of August.
