Gameplay
When starting the campaign, player get to choose from various locations on where to start around Europe, these include cities of. Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. After the introduction drive, the player can only take jobs which are known as Quick Jobs. Quick Jobs are where the Truck and Fuel is provided for you, and you have to reach the destination within a set time limit. If you are late or the truck is damaged you get a reduction in your overall money earned. As you rank up and complete various jobs, you will receive an EMail from the Bank asking if you would like a Loan, this is for you if you want to purchase your own personal truck that you can upgrade and personalize. When buying a truck, you will unlock a new job type called Cargo Jobs, these allow you to use your own personal truck. These jobs offer better payouts and the ability to use your personal vehicle. The game features 77 cities in 13 different countries, over 20 different types of cargo and over 15 fictional European companies. ETS2 includes 7 different makes of lorries. Scania, Renault, MAN, DAF, Iveco, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz.





Graphics
The graphics in Euro Truck Simulator are very good, the graphics settings in the game can be turned down for lower end gaming PC's. As the graphics can be very demanding, playing on Ultra settings makes the game a whole different story, the amount of scenery detail and the detail in the cab of the lorry is second to none. Grass looks like grass and tree's look like tree's. If I'm honest, the graphics are one of the best i have ever seen in any game on any platform. But that's just my personal opinion. But that is the perk of this game being a Simulator.





Controls
This game isn't for you if you don't have either a gamepad i.e Xbox 360 Controller or a PC steering wheel. As playing this game with a mouse and keyboard is almost impossible. When playing this game with a steering wheel, you can choose whether to use it in automatic or manual mode, I would stay with automatic as the amount of gears is annoying after a while. Playing with an Xbox Controller is what i find easiest to use and get used to quick. All the buttons are customizable and therefore perfect.





Ratings
Gameplay: 9/10
Graphics: 10/10
Controls: 10/10
Fun scale: 8/10

Overall: 9/10

A truly great game and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a relaxed driving session.

Who would have ever thought that a Euro Truck Simulator would get a rating this high? This simulator is one of the most relaxing games ever, but can also be very intense when carrying fragile cargo. The scenery is beautiful. When it rains ingame, I get the same warm feeling inside as when it rains in real life. I give it a perfect score because I just can't find anything "wrong" with it. Get this game.
