   As Reviewer “Mike” said, the games of garbage trucks and buses are practically thrown in at the last minute. . . and as a critic said, I also expect to see buses and garbage trucks RELATED WOS 18. . . this is not the case. There are three separate games on one disc, and the two simulators (Garbage / bus) are so pathetic they (developers) in May and did not even bother with them. In simulators. . . if you can get to work, your controls are bonded to the keyboard, your graphics are very low range, as are the sound effects, and you just Putz around switching between driver and crew. Civilians have your way every time (if you can park it at just the right position so that your view is not obscured by flying the aircraft completely useless) and you will be penalized if your crew as much as beating elbow. As the bus simulator, I could never get the program to crash happened at the initial loading screen. . . quickly followed by an error message that says I am low on memory. . . even if my system specs exceed the standard requirements. (Dell Dimension 8300 Desktop with Windows XP Home, Sapphire Radeon 3850HD with a lot of system memory for this game). As for the 18 Wheels of Steel ALH itself. You’ve basically got three packages in good truck to cover approximately 30-40 trucks. . . all manage nearly the same thing, even when loaded. The only difference is that some trucks can turn on a dime. . . others are a classic pain in the ass. Did I mention you get Frisk, whiplash, etc.. . When you are. . . or at least I was. . . waiting Mack, Freightliner, International, Peterbilt, etc.. . And where is this truck Chintzy small sign they had in Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel 1? Traffic signals are all essentially slaved together, and the green lights do not stay around long enough to be anywhere near from “realistic”. That, and you hear a couple variations on three simple stupid questions too often to be tolerable. . . at least for me. “How’s the Weather Lookin ‘up ahead? … Any hand received a report Traffic up ahead … What is up 10-13 coming?” These same questions are repeated like clockwork every few seconds. . . for me. Being able to close one or the other off the Radio CV or at least disable the voiceover. . . or both. . . was extremely utile.La weather? One minute it’s pouring rain, the next it’s sunny again. The traffic? If the “Vehicle Number” Do not shoot in front of you close enough to swap paint chips. . . they behind you close enough to the other driver to sit on your lap. . . and provide an almost constant irritation with the corne.S they really wanted realism, they should not have programmed the game to run clock with warpspeed. “Tired” You should stop and rest! “. . . if you draw more time and move up to 24 hours. . . few minutes later, “You’re tired!” again. And the cops nail you if you do not drop everything and park it. . . Whether you’re on a highway overpass. . a bridge. . . or city-rue.Presque finished. When you finally manage to get to the delivery location, you not only to control the camera controls to be actually able to “orient (trailer) house”… But you also have to fight your truck to ensure its stabilité.Enfin. If you use a keyboard to control your truck, your check will be ridiculously sensitive and you’ll feel less like a veteran trucker and more like a crash dummy test. If you use a wheel without return strength, you will probably fight on the pedals to get the change function report to work. (Mine is a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP w / Force Feedback … More on that another time). They boast realism on the back cover… and they fail completely and absolutely on a brave face. All things considered, I would say that the platforms Big City is not even worth one third of retail prices. They have so many variations different on the same game… It seems they do things from time to time. I will not recommend to anyone, and I do not want to buy another 18 Wheels of Steel full until Game developers stop messing around and doing things… for a fois.Rating: 1 / 5

   With 18 Wheels of Steel, I was looking forward to this new addition to Valusoft. A few weeks after it was announced, I was happy. Unfortunately, it was short lived. I thought it was a game on a DVD and something new. The right half and half fausse.Etait this something new? OuiEst it a game together? NonSaviez franchise take a step backward? Yes (18 WoS: Convoy was a step backwards) Adding a new twist to the 18 Wheels of Steel, is the opporutinty to be the boss of a bus company. You’ll also have the opportunity to own your own garbage collection business. You can even buy your own trucking company own. Here’s the twist. . . . . It is 3 separate games. You get 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul, Big Rigs City: Bus Driver (not to be confused with Bus Driver by Merscom) and Big Rigs City: Garbage driver camion.Chauffeur bus is extremely buggy. cars out of nowhere and “land” on your bus. You would be blocked and must leave the mission. You get different buses, but they pretty much have the same bells and whistles. Cities that you cross, are living in cardboard. Photos of cities in American Long Haul, then halve, and finally, lower graphics quality for three quarters. Very disappointing. To earn money, you charge one price to get on the bus and drive along the road on the card is visible. The green dots indicate where you need to pick up passengers. Sometimes, I honked the horn and a car out of no where, landed on my bus and I’m stuck. To put it mildly, a bus driver is very buggy. It gets boring after a while too. To make money you have to run the bus several times before they buy a new bus in your fleet. The visits that you can run, are also buggy. I did a tour and when I stopped at a place that could be read on the card as a point, nothing happened. I drove a round a few times and even exceeded by the marker several times, nothing. Then time ran out. Again, very frustrating. The only thing less frustrating is that the lights are slightly longer (when green) than in American Long Haul Rigs and Haulin.Big City: Garbage Truck Driver is the problem of bugs as that bus driver, but the graphics are nearly the same bland. In Garbage Truck Driver, once you own your own business and encourage them to buy a garbage truck that is necessary to execute the “morning” (the game fundamentally substitute bus driver of the bus passengers works for the garbage cans). You buy trucks to go with the mission that requires a specific or recyclng garbage truck. The cool thing is that you are a man or men, jumped from the truck, go to the trash and take it and dump it into the truck. The animation stops when you have trash or garbage reach the truck. You do not see the animation of the garbage in the truck. You see just be thrown in the trash or emptying water in. No pushing in the trash or whether your truck is full. You do not empty the truck at the end of the mission. These are some of my gripes, but again, I’m a nut realism, so that others will have a difference in opinion. The same thing happens in this game as you have to make multiple trips to earn money and then buy other camions.Pour 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul, see my review of it on 18 Wheel of Steel: American Long Haul product page here on Amazon. I got this even if I am right in the ALH $ special [. . . ] Price. Basically, you get 3 games for $ [. . . ]. Instead of buying bus drivers and Garbage Truck Driver for $ [. . . ] Each download (digital), I have both for $ [. . . ] (Or less than that actually). The police pull you over in garbage truck driver and bus driver. You will be penalized in your bank account. Basically, it seems that both the driver of the garbage truck and bus drivers have been stripped versions of American Long Haul on graphics and trucks were replaced by buses and garbage trucks. The driving area is not as big as American Long Haul plus.Soyez not warned the bus driver is buggy. Garbage Truck Driver is a little disappointing not hold your attention for long. American Long Haul is great if you do not Haulin. If you 18WoS: Haulin, American Long Haul is basically the same chose.J ‘I gave this 3 stars because the true note in my honest opinion would be a 2. 5 stars. The driver of the garbage truck and bus drivers are new while American Long Haul has been absent for a year. Bus driver is very buggy and when the bugs do not affect the game, it becomes boring. Driver of garbage truck is not as buggy but it’s the same thing. . . . . it does not keep you in the game for quite longtemps.Pour American Long Haul in my product review, I would love to see American Long Haul get reviewed. This would include lively cities, most routes (highways and side streets), and be able to get out of your truck. I’d like to get out of my truck and pump gas or go to a laundry truck. It would be nice to “return” in the game to rest or actually go to a motel / hotel to rest. I also liked to have workers loading or unloading merchandise or products that I’m hauling. How cool would it be, when you drag cars at the dealership and actually drive your car and trailer on the lot and the bill granting the concession. It would be amazing to have time off and go “home” and drive your car around to get food or you can use the time at home to pay bills. If it proves difficult to put the cities of real life, then put the cities of fiction. But we must remember that Valusoft trying to keep costs low ($ [...] And less). Hopefully another company can go beyond. If ALH has been revised, improved and more content, I would not mind paying $ [. . . ] Or even $ [. . . ] And if it’s worth it .* * update I realized that 3 stars was very generous. I would perhaps change it to 2 stars. Bus driver and truck driver garbage is a complete mess. If you have a passing interest to a bus driver, bus driver by Merscom is better. I’m still waiting for RignRoll .* I’m running this on Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS * (Intel i7 920 built by me)
