thought the whole appeal of games was that they let you do things you
can't do in real life, such as shooting a Nazi or jumping over a
grinning daffodil and landing on a moving cloud. Not so here. As
glamorous exercises in escapism go, Euro Truck Simulator is on a par
with fishing hair from a plughole.
The gameplay: pick a truck, pick a cargo (Sugar! Electronics! Frozen
food! It could be literally any pedestrian item you can think of!), then
drive it from one location to another. Along the way, you have to fill
up at petrol stations and nap. You also have to obey traffic lights and
avoid crashing.ou don't get to do any of the other things truck drivers are famous
for, like wanking over porn in lay-bys or knifing 19 year-old
hitchhikers, so the tedium quotient remains fairly constant.
No rides for rides
Most of the time you're just trundling slowly down a dull motorway.
While you're driving you can look around the cab by sliding the mouse
about. Yet when your eyes alight on the empty passenger seat beside you,
it can get poignant. The road is lonely and monotonous, and there's so
little to do you end up staving off boredom by holding negotiations with
God in your head.
Then you arrive at your destination, at which point there's an
infuriatingly fiddly bit where you have to reverse the trailer into a
docking bay. I left the experience more resentful of humankind than when
I started, which indicates this game isn't aimed at me.
The score reflects my take on the damn thing. Add 50 points if you
want to drive a truck through some dull sections of Europe. Like a
prick. download today nice simultaor
