Hello, and welcome to the forum.

I think you, and others need to read the whole ad, and not pick, and choose the ones that agree, or favor your own aspects of the game. Plus, whenever I look to purchase a game, I go to the publishers site, and find out all I can about it. I guess that's asking too much. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know this. Before you ask, yes, I do this on every game, or program I purchase. I look at all the pros,and cons. Then I make my own mind up. There is nothing difficult here. Buyer beware. Reviews are an essential part of buying items on the internet. So who's to blame?? There's no deception here.

and that's half of the problem that people don't understand that all of C1's trucking games are more racing than simulation...least the one's I've seen anyway. and honestly aside from the competition loads when you think about it the game is actually simulation due to the fact that you do have dealines that have to be made in real life. but not having speed limits kinda takes away from that. but I agree with you in full. if you looked at the screen shots online you HAD to know there was racing involved and if you don't like that you shouldn't have bought it.

Also the video trailers often showed trucks that were using NOS (flames on the exhaust pipes), hitting traffic cars and making chaos...



When I saw the game for the first time some years ago I thought that it was a simulation. And when R&R came out I really had to think about buying it or not because I was confused about the time limits and racings that was a hard contrast to the SCS games.

In the end I decided to buy the game and played and play it on the easiest difficulty.
I must say: I have no problems. The time limits are good so that I often can drive with the traffic flow. When I have some opponents they're easy enough to beat, I often drive at a maximum of 75 m/h, that's enough. And I'm always driving with following all rules.

I can use the game as a simulation now with driving the cargos without racing contest while my hired drivers (3 at the moment) do the hard work and earn loads of money, but are well paid, too.

It really makes fun this way, even for someone who was familiarized with the 18 WoS series for a long time!

Yea I was a little disappointed when I first bought it because it was more racing but after a while it does get kinda fun racing against people sometimes until the idiots rearend you or cut you off. The non comp loads are great when you get a lot of drivers though (I've got all 50) but I'm more of the go big or go home type of guy and I have to have the big bucks. I typically run 77 (what my pete tops out at now) and TRY not to get in wrecks because I have a pretty nice looking truck. but it's a lot different than 18wos...but it's still fun. mine's crashing at the moment though so it's a little annoying.

thanks. ill check it out when im back home ( im on holidays right now in ukraine)

heres some hot tips for the game. i have played it since i got it and im pretty mnuch a vetern at the game.


for the unpopular racing mission simply over take your rivals at any speed you want, the set at 65 mph. this will make a huge line, and end up in a very close win.


for timed missions, drive 70- 75 mph when over takeing and 60-65 mph when noirmnally driving. lets you obey the rules, and deliver your load on time.
