 Great Truck Company Simulator August 24, 2008

I drive 18 Wheeler trucks and I have played the 18 wheels of steel games.The newest one American Long Haul is a great trucking game.Much better improved over the preivous version.If intrested buy the new one on amazon.I used them in the past when first learning to drive trucks and get a feel to see if I was intrested in a career driving. Used the games when I went to driving school to learn about driving a truck from the game.This game Hard Truck Tycoon lets you run your own company in the truck transporation industry choosing the type of service you want to provide.When you do launch your company you keep playing to find out if your company will last.Tried the demo and liked this game also.Don't listen to the other reviewer saying negative things about this game.To like this game or any of the other 18 Wheels of Steel games you must have an intrest in trucks.If not you may not enjoy these games.

Withthe movement of a lot of games branded "Tycoon", it was only a matter of time before this title would come out. Hard Truck Tycoon is made by the same company that developed the 18 Wheels of Steel Series. If you take in account the Hard Truck series and the 18 Wheels of Steel series, I would have to say that 2 titles have been unspectacular (this one included. Usually when the first titles from a franchise are released you would expect some bugs and maybe a horrible game here and there. As more titles are released you would see a modest improvement. Valusoft had a very buggy 18WoS: Convoy and a strange release of it's recent 18WoS title called American Long Haul.
Hard Truck Tycoon has been out for 2 years. Unfortunately it's not at all good. The graphics take a huge leap backwards (even compared to the video cards of 2006). You are basically looking from a top-bottom view. The gameplay doesn't keep you into it as sometimes you click on a job and then tap your fingers wondering what to do next which brings me to my next point: the manual. Very tiny and not very informative. The interface is not at all appealing.
You are in charge of a company. You hire the drivers as well as the trucks. You are also suppose to create jobs by sending the driver(s) to the industries and their destinations while staying afloat. If you don't make a profit, game over.
Sadly as soon as I loaded the game, I quickly removed it.
