"Trucker 2" is a Casual Truck-Driving Game.
"Trucker 2," Unlike its Predecessor "Trucker," has an invaluable Advantage: It runs; At least mostly.
If it didn't work, however, it would also have invaluable Advantages, because you wouldn't have to play this Rotz. Qualitatively, we move to cell phone level. The Graphic in Particular is screamingly ugly, partly ghastly garish and makes even twenty-year-old Simulators look chic.
For that, the Gameplay is absurdly terrible, the Drivability a Joke. Our Vehicle resembles an Iron on Ice. This has only the invaluable Advantage that if it stops at one Point long enough, it will disappear on Naller sees Again. Our Truck, on the other hand, haunts us in our most gruesome Dreams.
If we have selected one of the Trucks we have exciting Game Modes, such as fast driving or even driving fast against three other Trucks. The boringly built Routes are usually stupid four-lane overland Roads. After All, we can switch between different Perspectives, which also do not help us much with the Celives. Every now and then we can also pick up Power-ups like a temporary Booster. And in some Places there are Radar Traps where the Police are tracking us for a Time, we should be too quick.
But all this is of no use if the Driving Behaviour resembles a Manure Control competition.

The game is bad.
Why? Easy to say. The discription of the game says "King of the Road is back", I was looking for a funny and nice game for not much money. The discprition made me buy it because I loved the real King of the Road published by JoWood. I hoped it would be like it and it doesn't. The only thing they have in common is the fact that there are trucks in the game.
King of the Road was an open world game, where you had to dilver goods from A to B in short time, mostly against other drivers. You earnded more money, with no damaged goods and by arriving first. You could tune your vehicle in mulitple ways and you needed to think of Fuel and damage to your car.
In Trucker 2 there is no open world, you're doing a sprint race between two points, sometimes against other trucks sometimes not. It depends on your truck, what kind of races you'll see, that's a good point.
But every track feels same, there is no problem, by arriving with a fulldamaged truck, you only have to repair it, which costs money.
There are no shortcuts or other things to explore, just follow the road.
The powerups can be usefull, if I knew, what they are ment to do.... Is the Tire+-Powerup giving me more grip and the Tire--Powerup less or does the + give me nitrous and the other one decreases it. But then why is there a Flame-Powerup?
It's never explained.
There are not many trucks, most of them look good, but they all are small. In King of the Road you were able to drive big ones with large trailers. Not in this game.
Tuning your truck is still possible though but it's not much fun. Having fully upgraded your truck it's not controlable anymore. You can't steer anymore and there is no fun left, it just fells and looks like the whole game is just faster and it looks horrible.
It is said that the police is pursuing you but you can't see them most of the time. Even when youre 300m ahead of them the sirens are as aloud as if there are only 3m left between you and them.
I would not recommend this game!
