I managed to get an import copy of 18 wheeler yesterday in Nottingham, and I got very excited about this when i heard it was as good as crazy Taxi. So I rushed home to play it on my Dc to find it was totally pants and it had to be one of the hardest games that I have ever played. I turned it to very easy and I can't beat the 2nd level of the game. There are lots of modes but all of them are very hard and nothing like the arcade experience. The game lacks because it is so hard to beat and to play and also it has been rushed alot and therefore is no way near as good as the arcade version by Sega.
Sega have dissappointed my alot with this poor rushed job of what was a very good arcade game. If they bothered to spent more time they could have made it really good. My advice is not to buy it unless you loved the arcade version. Do not be fooled although good graphics this lacks on something. Crazy taxi was brilliant conversion but this is not! Do not be fooled this game is not what it really is.

I have a copy of 18 Wheeler and I dont actually find it that hard on hard mode, as long as you get to the Fireworks van.
I managed to play 18 wheeler in the states - and yes people it is pants of the highest level. Anyone whose played it - is it me or does it feel like your going at like 5mph even when your at top speed ???
Yeah my mate has this pirated on the DC. When choosing your vehicle for each race, try choosing the one that says "easy", not the one that says "hard". If you can't get past the second level, you're probably missing a shortcut or something. Anyway, you're right. It is a rather poor game. You might get a couple of quid for it down your local second hand games store.
