Hello and thanks for interesting topic, I will take part in it too
1. I think yes, because so far, from videos and screenshots game looks more attractive to me than ScS games.
2. Since 2006..
3. I like truck games, so I tried to find one on site "gamershell.com" thats where I found RnR, but at first I didn't pay much attention, cause the game wasn't released yet, but in 2006 Autumn I began to follow game development
4. Yes I did. My first truck game and the best one was Hard truck 2

Later I tried 18wos Across America, 18Wos PTTM, Haulin, Extreme trucker, but didn't like them much...
5. Hard Truck 2

. I think RnR can be the King of truck games.
6. From videos looks like gameplay will be similar to HT2
7. Well in 3 years I don't, but who knows...
8. So far I saw bugs only in car accidents
9. If that patch has MP then yes
10. I don't know, but I hope there will be mods for RnR
11. ~80
12. I will get Russian version very soon

but when English becomes available, I'll buy it too
