Truck Driving is a title developed by Faucet Nation and revealed by Final Video games. It’s marketed as an motion sport, based on its Nintendo web page, however it’s a driving simulation at greatest. Out of so many driving sims on the planet, how does this explicit sport evaluate? Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
The premise of Truck Driving is to learn to drive a truck, although there isn’t any story. It’s merely a simulation to see if you happen to can deal with the physics of driving heavy masses between three totally different vehicles, two of which you must unlock. You do that by means of numerous ranges of small driving workout routines.
What kind of workout routines? Nicely, the primary few ranges includes driving in a straight line. Then come small turns, then greater turns. Some ranges embody you driving backwards, going up and down ramps, and… that’s about it. Every degree took seconds. And, no, that’s not an exaggeration. Total, Truck Driving took me twenty minutes to finish all fifty ranges.
These ranges are damaged into two segments: day and evening. The primary twenty-five ranges happen through the day, and the ultimate twenty-five ranges happen at evening, that means the graphics are darker and your headlights are on. It took me two of the evening ranges to appreciate these are precisely the identical as the opposite batch. So, as a substitute of fifty distinctive driving workout routines, you’re repeating the identical twenty-five you simply accomplished 5 minutes in the past.
Whenever you full a degree, you’ll earn cash, and that’s what you employ to unlock the remaining two vehicles. Every truck has a heavier load than the final, and I might really feel a distinction with the physics. Nevertheless, that didn’t make the sport any harder. I nonetheless obtained by means of the degrees with no downside. I even tried to purposely drive off the highway to see if it will “fail” me, however it didn’t. I used to be capable of drive again on the highway, make it to the parking spot, and nonetheless earn my cash as a reward. There have been no penalties and nothing else to do within the sport.
Even after finishing all fifty ranges and unlocking all vehicles, I’ve 5,000 cash left over that I can’t do something with. I can’t customise my vehicles, I can’t purchase extra, I can’t even purchase cool horns… though the vehicles do have a horn that does nothing however provide you with aesthetics, it was pleasant to mess around with it.
A part of the explanation the horn was enjoyable to play with was as a result of Truck Driving has no music, solely sound results. Fifty ranges of nothing however the truck’s engine whirring, non-existent individuals cheering for me once I full the degrees, and me repeatedly booping the horn.
And that’s all there’s to it. Truck Driving is just not a groundbreaking title by any means, although I can see youthful youngsters having a great time with it. I believe it’d be a enjoyable brief and candy title for little youngsters to get a really feel for enjoying video video games, particularly if they’ve a fascination with vehicles. The degrees aren’t troublesome, controls are straightforward, there are not any penalties, and it’s not overstimulating. Plus, you may honk the horn as many occasions as you need.
