The verdict
A dated, simple 2008 trucking sim that runs on almost anything and offers nostalgia and cheap relaxation. Skip it if your PC can run ETS2 or you want good controls.
Great for
Players with weak PCs or laptops, nostalgia seekers, and fans of cheap relaxing driving
Main risk
Clunky steering and repetitive, shallow gameplay make ETS2 the better buy for most players
What players love
Nostalgia and series roots
