Truck World: Australia

I played the prequel of Truck World: Australia a little while back and loved it. I am a massive fan of truck sims, and this one here is claiming to be the next generation of truck sims. I wanted to take a closer look at this. I think that this has the potential to be one of my most played games of the year! I get super into these truck sim games, and I love the attention to detail. The setting here is pretty awesome, as this is such a diverse continent, and this game aims to show us as much of it as possible.

The Setting Is The Star

I am a huge fan of the American Truck Simulator games. I am sure I have pretty much played every expansion that they have released for it! With Truck World: Australia, though, we are in a completely different part of the world, Australia. Australia is a massive country, and as a result, you will be driving through some of the most diverse landscapes of any truck game. From massive open highways that are bumper to bumper, they are so busy, to creepy looking rural areas that will force you to truly pay attention to what you are doing.

On The Road Again

It probably goes without saying, but the purpose of Truck World: Australia is that we need to get our loads to where they need to go. Realism is the name of the game here. These trucks handle in a very realistic way and this is not for those who just want to jump in and start hauling ass behind the wheel of a huge ass truck. You have to obey the rules of the road, pay attention, and get your haul where it needs to go in a timely and safe manner. One thing that is cool is that you do more than just drive the truck in this game; you are actually responsible for loading your hauls as well.

Before You Get Behind The Wheel

There have been other truck sims that have you load your hauls, but the way that Truck World: Australia goes about it is pretty awesome. You see, you have to think about your haul as the weight, size, and the position of it on your trailer or the kind of tanker you have, will have an effect on the way your truck handles. In addition to this, you will need to actually fill your gas tank. Walking around your truck to make sure your haul is all set up properly is something that I thought was very cool and a nice extra little detail. You want to make sure your haul is loaded properly so that you have an “easier” time while you are out on the road.

The Long And Winding Road

Australia is an amazing country; it is massive, and you can go from being in a large city to a very rural area pretty quickly. Truck World: Australia looks fantastic, and the way that they have captured Australia is awesome. I loved the more rural areas where the dirt roads would force you to drive with caution. The game has some pretty incredible dynamic weather effects, too, and anything that Mother Nature has to throw at you, she does. We are talking blinding light when the sun is at its peak, harsh rain that makes it hard to see, and even snow that makes handling your haul even more deadly!

Pros:

• I loved the Australian setting of the game
• This game looks fantastic, they have captured Australia really well
• Taking care of your truck and loads is a great touch
• This is a deep and engaging truck driving sim

Cons:

• It may be a tad too realistic for some people to get to grips with
• Will this get the same level of updates as the ATS games do?
