Good Graphics, Bad Gameplay – Truck Simulator PRO 2 Review

The graphics on this game are amazing but there are a lot of things that are very unrealistic for a “simulator”. 1. Needs way more room to turn in cities, when pulling a trailer you are forced to turn into the oncoming lane and sometimes the sidewalk to avoid taking trailer damage. 2. Needs WAY better turning at high speeds (such as 55-80). On an actual interstate trucks will drive anywhere from 60-85. In the game when you drive over 45 it almost looks like you’re sliding on the road which is terribly unrealistic, unless they added icy and snowy weather. 3. Needs more cars on the interstate, especially around cities when the traffic really picks up. 4. Interstates should go through the middle of cities and the exits should be in the city instead of having just a highway go to a city. 5. Needs WAY better truck sounds. It constantly sounds like the truck is idling and especially with heavy or oversized loads the truck should rev more with the struggle. 6. Take away guard rails from highways and interstates. There are never guard rails on the whole interstate, just parts where there is a ditch or side of cliff or where danger risk is elevated. Sometimes the game feels more like a parking game where you try not to hit obstacles. The game should be more about driving and the quality of driving on the game is bad. 7. Cops should actually pull you over.
