In 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker, huge monster trucks take to the streets. Monster trucks between 15 and 25 m long.
Trucker on the road
American tastes are greater than European ones. Between 15 and 25 m long, with a large trailer, several axles and lots of wheels, they must not exceed 36 t. In this game you get into one of these monster trucks. The most varied of wagons transport different goods. The choice of goods is yours. You have to transport them from state to state while opposing truck drivers try to stop you. Normal traffic and a time limit make things even more difficult. If you are faster than this, there are additional dollars to be paid. Marked cars, buses and other vehicles may be rammed out of the way.
Park duels
In addition, you have the option of parking duels with your opponents. The goal is to drive through a parking meter and pack up in a designated parking space or garage as quickly as possible. Rewards for this are, for example, a stronger horn, additional drivers, tractors and bonus levels.
The routes
There are only a limited number of routes that are relatively short. There are additional mini-games for this. They provide a bit of variety. In two-player mode, you can drive with a horizontally split screen and compete against each other.
Graphics and sound
The graphics are not great, but they are good. The quacks are detailed. This also applies to the different routes. The sound effects are specifically placed. Brakes hiss, the horn roars and radio noises can be heard.
steering
the chucks themselves are very clumsy. They can be controlled very well with a steering wheel or with a normal analog stick. The trucks have low, high and reverse gears.
Conclusion
The trucks are unusual companions. The levels are nicely designed and the graphics and sound are fine. It's something different than the usual racers. It is highly recommended for those looking for a change from the classic racing game.
