60 of 178 · most liked firstLook at this as a simulator and you'll be let down. Looking at this as a truck-themed arcade game, and you'll praise: • An amazing map - no prefabricated undersized intersections. The bespoke highways are properly scaled and a joy to drive on. You can do more than 30mph without tipping over. The map itself is huge - takes several hours to cross despite higher speeds and straighter roads than ETS • You can see your hired drivers on the road as they work, and join them in competitive jobs • A…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bet this would be one of the least useful reviews, well, I don't really care: Hard Truck 2: King of the Road was my favorite game of this genre, it was all around 10/10 game, so when I saw this game on steam I was so exited because I expected the same game with better graphics and more content but what do we have: -sh`tty graphics with lags -sh`tty music -sh`tty interface and unplayable controls -rеtаrded collision physix -I know this is not helpful for English review but this describes the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game, it's pretty fun and doesn't take itself very seriously at all. It's just an evolution of 18 Wheeler and Big Mutha Truckers. My only complaint is the really wobbly physics...makes sense, top heavy and all that and I found it doesn't lend well for controller or keyboard (Way too many functions to map) so maybe a steering wheel is in order. *Edit* I have not changed my mind. The map is large, there's lots of cheesy cutscenes to watch and races while delivering to be done. A…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Installed it. Played it. Uninstalled it. All within an hour, and that included the time it took to eat the pizza.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Remember that game on PS2 called 'Big Motha Truckers'? No? Well it's like that. This game is fun. It actually has cutscenes in which people actually talk unlike most simulators. (When was the last time you even played a "simulator" that even had detailed characters?) Something I enjoyed most about this game was the fact the cops come after you. I was arrested and even when being arrested there's a short cutscene. Yes, this review sucks. Boohoo. I don't care. This is a real world truck sim.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2002: 1C Company published the game "King of the Road". That game has better graphics, runs better and especially nails the arcade aspect. Shorter Roads between citys, OffRoad-shortcuts, a Mafia... Rig n Roll is not a simulator. But the distances are. So you end up driving for hours on a straight road with arcade driving physics, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics, a Radio which has 3 Songs.. Don't buy this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rig n Roll The name itself I like, it seems well fitting. Although the game itself is rather a disaster for me. The graphics, all in all, looked pretty decent on the steam web page screenshots and in-game. Unfortunately, the game isn't what I hoped to be. What's Wrong About It? Quick Summary Checklist: -Terrible Camera View -Bad Optimization -Bad FOV In-Cabin view -Awkward unskippable cutscenes -No Map what so ever, or any checkpoints to know where you're going. In Depth Details of my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not a bad game dose not work well with XBOX360 controller but its still a giggle getting to a police chase in a 18 wheeler best controller setup is to use the keyboard i would give this game 5/10 at the moment it is in weeklong deals so i would recomend it as it cheap but if you want a realy good trucking game euro truck simulator 2 but as an arcade type trucking this is a cool game to own hope you find this helpful
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd rather buy winrar
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rig n' Roll is a Trucking game that is set in the United States. You Get to play through a story line as well. I highly recommend this game. I actually prefer it over Euro Truck Simulator 2, because it has mroe feutures. Its Damage is more in depth, and it also has visual damage. The AI traffic is also smart, however, the traffic acts poorly when a highway exit appears as they will come to a complete stop on the highway and wait to change lanes, and when the changes lanes, they can block up to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Realistically depicts cops in their natural environment, 10/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game, not only impressed me, but impressed my friends and family. The immerse gameplay and fantastic graphics were fantastic. The engine was absolutely superb. I came across no glitches AT ALL while playing this game and it led to a truly fabulous experience. After starting the adequate storyline video in the beginning, it felt like I was an actual Truck driver. I was delivering cargo throughout various places dotted on the detailed and great visuals. I had no issues completing very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't listen to all the bad reviews this is a fantastic game, if you loved the 1970's trucking movies then it's like your in them. Love the cut scenes too. Don't come in comparing this to a simulator or Euro Truck as it's nothing like them and not a sim but arcade with a story mode. I have run this on my desktop and Omen gaming laptop with no issues and on max resolution. For me this is best played with the keyboard and even though you can map a wheel and gamepad it doesn't do the game justice.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am telling you. Buy this game It is that good. Real U.S.A BIG trucks not those gurly looking trucks with wimpy engines in the ETS European trucks. This game is the best. I know I have played them all. It is that good I drove my USA BIG truck from Los Angeles to San Diego and it looked real! Needs Fliying J truck stops so you can pull off road, refuel and catch a nap in the sleeper watch tv radio etc. Buy this game it is the best, I am telling you. How about r Mack trucks???…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a great premise: A trucking simulator with a Rock 'n Roll edge to it. Unlike Euro Truck Simulator, there is visible, physics based damage. Driving into traffic will result in the cops being called, guns drawn. The game's story mode however is archaic. The spoken dialogue slightly differs from what appears in the forced-on closed captions. There's blatant sexual tokenization of women as well from the outset with your "footloose and fancy-free" secretary - your character even asks…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please release King of the Road on Steam
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hard truck 3 / rig'n'roll is a respectable game with serious "game engine flaws", wich funny enough were in the previous itteration ( hardtruck 2 / king of the road )aswell , but could be fixed by editing some game engine stuff, however in this game its not so easily possible: memory leak caused by game night/day cycle memory leak caused by saving the game progress a.k.a save game. memory leak caused by competitor/traffic ai trucks having broken/invalid upgrades crashing the game as per game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cutscene animations may not be the best, but the storyline is thrilling indeed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game for it's time for those idiots out there THIS GAME IS OLD AND HAVE REALLY GOOD GRAPHICS FOR IT'S RELASE TIME AND MORE REALISTIC DYNAMICS THAN EU SIM!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The reviews of this game do not really show what it is. I am a bit biased because I connect it with my teenage years and I have a soft spot for it but still... First of all the game is not a simulator in any means, it is a racing/arcade game. It can be rough around the edges but it also integrates things that are to this day missing in ETS2/ATS (have in mind I play both of them too.) 1. The Good: 1.1 Map and environment - The map is fantastic, very large and scenery at times is very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a classic. It's simple arcade truck driving game with some added bonus elements like a story line with cutscenes, also delivery races and random events. The graphics are a bit dated, but very acceptable, and the damage models are amazing. The police ai, while not perfect but the way they work is amazing. They also actually come after the player if they catch him doing something against the law. (They even lead the player until they find a spot to stop him for a citation) 100%…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A budget version of American Trucking Simulator
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game changed my life. Many may pass off this game as just a piece of Russian shovelware from 2010, but do not be mistaken by the appearance or first impressions by the normies playing this game. In 2004, my father has been sent to Iraq as an american solidier. He died of post-surgery complications in 2007 due to injuries he suffered in the world. I've felt dead inside for years before Rig'n'Roll appeared on my radar when I picked up a retail copy on a flea market in Russia. I thought it'd…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this ame free and just when I started the game, I got completly LOST. The camera views are just horrible, the controls are really odd and there´s any waypoint at the map, so you basicly don´t know where to go durin a job. The only thing I like of this game is the map and some details, but please... If you like difficult game them buy it, but if you want to play and have a good time, please buy ETS2 instead of this one, just warning.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A+ everything, it gave me a new lease on life. No longer do I cry in the shower, clutching my plump pecans, for I have no time to do so! I have 12 tons of cigarettes to deliver and a disdain for Monopoly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best trucking game ever, and I am saying this in April 2020. I have owned this game for years; it played well on my older laptop (nVidia GT 740m), played well on my newer laptop (nVidia GTX 950m) and plays gorgeously on my home built PC (Windows 10 64-bit, Ryzen 5 2600 with GeForce GTX 1660 Ti). Still awesome looking graphics (with some low resolution textures which are easy to disregard), fabulous California map, although awkward controls that you can luckily redefine to any scheme you like.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The detail of the environment is amazingly detailed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR Don't waste your time with this, even when its on sale! Just spend that little bit extra and get either Euro truck simulator 2 or American truck simulator by SCS. Can't call this a simulator like Euro truck simulator 2 or American truck simulator... I wouldn't even call it an arcade game, I think that would be an insult to arcade trucking games such as Big Mutha Trucker, 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker, Hard Truck, etc etc. Pros (Within the 20 minutes I attempted to play this I can't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The loading of the game is very slow, even with 32GB RAM and installed on a fast SSD. That's why it's no fun. But also that the graphics are not that impressive (even for a 2010 game) The UI is very bad (18 wheels extreme trucker 2 is better) The story is so annoying badly presented and you can't even skip those. The good thing is that you have a good damagemodel but I don't like the cops. Better games are the 18 wheels series (Extreme 1 & 2 are much better) Even the other 18 Wheels…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My first trucking game as 5 y.o kid back in 2012, filling my whole childhood with this. Remembering good old times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the worst games I have ever played. The game crashes after about an hour of playing and although I personally like the game due to things like story, similarity to GTA and others, the fact that it crashes so often just outweighs the pros. Do not get.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty fun game, it was made 7 years before ATS so give it a break, and at least you you don't have to sink over $bucks in to get all the content lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know, I've gave it a try but I don't like it. The missions are a pain in the a... the roads are long boring and confusing, the graphics are low quality for a game that big in size.. but maybe it's just me..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maybe it's not Euro/America Truck Simulator, but Rig 'n' Roll have it's own charm. There is some story, side missions, so it's not only get from point A to point B. The visuals are pretty good for a simulation game from 2009. If you feel like you tired with SCS Software games and you want to try something similar, yet different, give this game a try.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VERY FUN! i once slammed a cop and they were k.o! :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game was crashing every 5min then after some fixes 15min. after that crashing every minute. dont buy guys.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is no simulation at all. It's very arcade and even has a story with cutscenes and all that stuff. You do pretty much the same thing you do in Eurotruck Simulator, drive around the map and take jobs, but here you don't just deliver freight, you race other trucks to the delivery adress and get chased by the police. It's janky and really fun. I usually would give it a positive review, but the game is really broken and everytime I played it, I have to restart the computer, because nothing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it a good game? No. Does it do stuff other truck sim games don't, like dynamic missions, hitchikers, elaborate truck stops? Yes. Should you expect a simulation? No. Do you need to obey the speed limit? Also no. Does it have a stupid story with badly voice acted cutscenes? Yup. Does it have what may be the best/worst soundtrack of stock music radio stations in gaming history? Hell yeah! Also you can give your truck a nitro booster.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →impossible to drive due to horrible controls
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to dream about being a trucker. Both my grandpa and my father (may he rest in peace) used to truck. Obviously its too late for me to be a trucker BUT with this game I get to live my dream. I only have three downsides. Game freezes sometimes, some of the missions seem impossible to accomplish or seem to refuse to let you progress, and there arent enough REAL trucks. I would love to see Peterbilts, Kenworths and other real trucks added. Plus I wouldnt mind seeing an Expansion Pack download…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here is the thing, I owned the CD version of this tragedy, why do I use that word? It is really simple, long development more than 5 years, hence the poor graphics and physics Expansions that were never delivered and the list goes on and it is sad, the story-line was great and so is the map, but the hype and betrayal killed that game before it was even released!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a joke to release this after fantastic previous trucking game of the very same developer. These trucks have no mass, speed up and brake almost like your Toyota Prius would. And what IS this shaky camera feature... just WHY? Not even talking on the optimisation / performance side. 14-25 fps on high settings (not ultra maximum everything) in 1280x960 for a game from 2010 on quad-core 2013 cpu with a mid-tier 2016 videocard. What a bad joke! Definitely - I do not recommend buying this even at…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken 3D truck driving sim set in California. Under Windows 10/4K monitor, the mouse pointer does not work, preventing the game from being configured/launched. The publisher has not maintained the game, and thus it should be avoided.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Vice City Truck Simulator This game is a fun story driven truck simulator game. Heads up the handling of the trucks is very arcade like and not realistic like ETS2. The game looks like the PS2 GTA games and your character looks like Tommy Vercetti lol. The game actually uses real trucks like Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Sterling and Western Star which is a huge plus towards making the game seem realistic, just like the Shell gas stations in the game. Its an overall good game and worth…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When it comes down to this game, I like it. But it sometimes has the ability to make me want to put a bullet in my computer. As of late, it stopped working and I really liked playing the game. But now, it says it is running for five seconds and then stopped. I even went as far as reinstalling it. I put it on my other computer and it didn't have any problems! What the hell?! If anyone else had this problem, my condolences, but I also think this game should work properly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the spiritual successor to Hard Truck and Hard Truck 2. It feels so much more "alive" than ETS2 and ATS. If you loved HT and HT2 back in the late 90s and early 2000s, give this a shot. You won't be disappointed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wasn't really impressed with this one. Rig n Roll 2 was way much better in my opinion
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game!! It exceeded my expectations at all levels save one; the graphics performance is underwhelming. It's running at sub 60fps, not at minimum settings but even at minimum doesn't seem improve the frame rate. OK aside from performance issues, i have not encountered big bugs except in the initial stages after i had done a lot of tweakings. It randomly crashed twice while i was driving. Maybe it was due to too many changes and clicking the apply button. All is well now but with a…
