Review: 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker

You can finally get your rig on in this arcade truck-driving game. But is driving a truck as fun as it looked on B.J. and the Bear? Find out in our review of 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker.

Sure, sports cars are great, but they?re just a speed bump in the path of your big rig in 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker, a raucous and fun-filled take on truck driving. You choose one of four truckers, then set off on a four-legged trip across America, from New York to San Francisco. The scenery is pure roadside Americana?diners, Texaco stations, Denny?s restaurants, overpasses, and covered bridges. Your truck?s graphical and audio details are equally cool. Your rig handles well, taking into account the weight of your load, and the driving action is great, with lots of mayhem as you run through cars and buildings. But while four levels were plenty for the quarter-munching arcade version of the game, they go by pretty fast at home; the four Score Attack courses and variable difficulty modes don?t add much replay. So rent this gem first to see if you?ll still want to play after beating it.
