I have to agree here. From my brief time spent driving in the game I can tell that the physics are nowhere near realistic. They aren't completely
awful, either, but to say that the game authentically conveys the feeling of driving a truck is a joke and I, too, wonder how game reviewers can make such statements.
For example, on one occasion my truck spun out of control when I hit a kerb like an F1 car getting a wheel on the grass at 300kph. How is that realistic behaviour for a heavy truck doing
~20kph (I was making a U-turn)? Also, one time a cop car rammed into my truck and the truck just went spinning all over the road like it weighed no more than a little toy car, lol
I haven't tried backing up with a trailer or even really payed much attention to the
trailer physics so I can't comment on those. I don't play the game anymore, I'll wait 'till the English version is released.
That being said I do think this game can be very enjoyable as long as you drive properly and keep the truck on the road like you're supposed to, and you don't have to go running from the cops. I only wish they would
greatly improve the transmission model in the game, that's the biggest let down for me at the moment.
