Total disgrace to Playstation 2 February 12, 2002
This game is total disgrace to Playstation 2. First of all the graphic. Don't be fooled by the picture-shot in the backcover or anywhere else, once you start the game, you'll notice the blurry and horrible graphics. The graphic in this game is Akklaim graphic style. Remember blurry graphic in Burnout (also by Akklaim), this game worst. In the cover, it said "converted by Akklaim" which mean Sega made this game and Akklaim convert it to horrible game. I should avoid it at the first time.Second, the road length is very short. No, it very very short. And it almost impossible to finish. What the point of all of this? Very short track and very difficult.
I give this game 1 star because it don't have negative star. In the scale of 0 to 10, I will give this game (negative)-5 star. I purchased this game this afternoon and now I'm ready to sell it back.
Do NOT buy this game February 1, 2002
One of the worst games I have ever played. The Playstation2 version is terrible.

I feel like I was ripped off and I only rented this game. I had played the demo version for the Dreamcast and loved it.Somehow Acclaim found a way to ruin this great arcade game. It is almost impossible to finish a race even on the easy settings. I dont know what happened but they made this way too hard which makes it unplayable. This PS2 version is garbage and should be avoided at all costs. I would throw this game out, but I have decided to go return it to the video store so some other sucker can waste their six bucks. I wish I could give it zero stars.

I love playing GT3 as well as smuggler's run and crazy taxi and I thought "hey, 18 wheeler racing, that sounds cool!" Boy was I wrong about this game being cool. When you think about GT3, crazy taxi and smuggler's run, you think speed and intense game play. However, 18 Wheeler, in contrast, is a INCREDIBLY SLOW racing game. I know, I know, there are going to be those that say 'well, it is more like a truck driving simulation because 18 wheeler's don't accelerate fast.' But come on, the game speed is SO slow and boring that if you are crave speedy racing games such as GT3 or Crazy Taxi chances are you are going to HATE this game. Plus, if this is suppose to be a simulation how come you can just run into things without crashing your truck? Look, this game was suppose to be modelled after an arcade game. That means I expect it to play like an arcade game (fast and fun). Instead what we get is a very slow racing game. Another crappy thing about this game is that the distance that you must drive between NY and FLorida can be driven in 120 seconds of driving time. Come on', if this is suppose to be a truck driving simulation than make the drives LONG (or at least the option to be long). Goodness sakes, even Crazy Taxi and Driver for the old PSone have bigger driving areas to explore(not to mention that both ATV offroad racer and Smuggler's run have HUGE areas to roam in as well) than that. Plus, there is no free-roam or free-drive option, instead everything is timed. All in all this game sounds like it would be a lot of fun, but my guess is most people will be dissappointed.
Save your money on this one.
