The main purpose of the game is to make it to the finish line with the truck’s cargo. Players are given a set amount of time, but can ram into special vans that will add three seconds to the timer. There are several characters to choose from, each with a unique truck and attributes.
The game starts out in Key West and players travel across the United States, ending in San Francisco. After Stage 1, the game gives the player a choice of trailer. One trailer is harder to haul, but provides a bigger payoff while the other choice is easier to haul but provides a smaller payoff. Money is deducted from the total when the trailer is hit. Players can sound the truck’s horn to make other cars on the road yield and slipstream behind large vehicles to gain a momentary speed boost.
In addition to the time limit, players also compete with the “Lizard Tail”, a rival trucker. Crossing the finish line before the Lizard Tail yields additional money. In between levels, players can park the truck in a mini game to earn more cash.
-Interesting concept
-The cover art was clear and nice looking
-bad graphics
-race against the clock
-bad controls
-not fun
This game was terrible. I got in knowing it might be bad. But it wasn’t even a fun bad. It was boring and unappealing. No story. Which for a racing game isn’t needed. But there isn’t a good way to really unlock new stuff. It was originally made for arcade. So it times you while you race. It’s a good thing for arcade. But when switched over to home console, it could of been taken off. It just makes it impossible to enjoy.
The controls were meh. They worked barely. It was difficult to drive. Which made the cruddy mini games more difficult than they should of been.
The graphics were terrible. Even for it’s time. They still were bad. I didn’t pay attention to the sound. They played a trucker country melody. Nothing important.
Conclusion: Overall. Don’t waste your time. This game could of been great. But it was really bad. Play it on arcade and arcade only. I took it back to the store. I never do that.
