Rasmus A. gave it an8:
This is as great as all the other games in the series. You can get your lifes biggest simulated trucker-cruise. The textures is not bad and the features is useable. So, its a game thats worth to buy, but if you already own the Haulin' game, you shouldn't pay for American Long Haul!

Bob S. gave it a3:
If you're familiar at all with the 18 wheels of steel series you'll be greatly disappointed with American long haul. Essentially, this is the exact same game as the previous release, Haulin'. The difference? The San Francisco area is slightly different and they've added a few new towns down in Mexico, so the area map is slightly larger. Otherwise, the sound, graphics, trucks, upgrades, textures, and everything else about the game remains exactly the same as Haulin'. If you own Haulin', don't bother buying this game it's a waste of money.

Thomas S. gave it a7:
Has a great potential - the current release has some issues regarding stability and gameplay - hope it will be smoothed out in future updates -special controller to drivel the playertruck is mandatory.

Jack W. gave it a2:
This game really lives up to its pitch...it is about as exiting as long-haul trucking. You get to drive for long distances, pay traffic tickets, and sleep in cheap motels. Wake me up with they release "CPA - Live the Life!"
