Hello, If you’ve read my serious reviews in the past, you know that I have a general format with it, but now I am updating it and will be updating my other serious reviews to use the new format. This new format will have different categories weighed differently depending on what type of game it is

Gameplay: 8/10*5 40pts/50pts
This game isn't for everyone. I personally love driving a truck around potentially for hours on end, but again, that will depend on you. Some may find it boring, and some may find that it gets them interested into simulator games. You've gotta try it and see it for yourself.

Story: N/A – 0pts/0pts
The game really has no story. You drive a truck around western Europe, and that's about it to the story.

Graphics: 7.5/10*1 7.5pts/10pts
The graphics are roughly average. Texture resolution is fairly low and lighting isn't the most realistic I've seen, however, many mods exist to give the game better graphics. Depending on your mod configuration, my rating would be anywhere between a 6 (base game) and a 9, thus averaging to a 7.5.

Mechanics and Controls: 9.5/10*2 19pts/20pts
Euro Truck Simulator is the most realistic simulators I've ever played. Everything from the physics of the truck, to things such as fuel consumption does a great job at mimicking real life (the exception to this is food and water ~ truck drivers need to eat too!).

Value: 8.25/10*3 24.75/30pts
$22 is roughly what you'd expect a game from 2012 to cost. Considering that you get to travel across western Europe, there should be many hours of playtime.

Overall: 8.3/10 91.25/110pts
ETS2 is a great simulator game. If you're in to simulators you're going to love ETS2, and some that may not have even been into simulators may see ETS2 as the spark to their simulator game addiction. The graphics are average but not great or terrible, but plenty of mods out there that will improve the graphics (and I will say, ETS2 with those graphics mods makes me not want to return to them without). Controls just like you would expect a truck to control like in real life, and you can get plenty of hours out of it for $20. Overall, it's a great game and worth your money.
