Take a closer look at car games, especially truck games, to better know what they offer

Car games were mainly designed to make the player experience what a driver would feel when behind the wheel. Thanks to today’s technology, these games are great for when one would like to see what the inside of a luxury car looks like, or how the dashboard of a rally car really is. But gamers are a difficult crowd to please, their expectations growing ever more by the year. So, developers had to keep up and become responsive to their needs and wants. For instance, for some players, driving around Hungaroring just didn't do it. For them, it was more interesting to feel the power an 18-wheeler on the Autobahn had when transporting timber. Enter truck games.

Trucking all the way

Truck games can give the player the feeling of having to transport cargo over long distances. They are a more skill-oriented game than other car games and can be challenging for inexperienced players. Commands in these games simulate the ones in real trucks and the fact that the gameplay is in real time – meaning that if in reality it takes 4 hours to get from one city to the other that’s how long it will take the player too – makes playing them a real test of patience, skills and sometimes even stamina.

With the game engines available today, truck games really are simulators that immerse even a rookie driver into the experience of long drives. Also, given that real-life truck producers have sensed that they can promote their products through such games, they are now working together with game developers and publishers offering them real specs for real trucks. This makes the experience even more real, getting players accustomed to real-life situations from real-life trucks.
Car games are fun to play and can be used to relax and unwind after a long day at work. But for some people, completing missions and shipping virtual cargo with a truck even in their spare time, is not relaxing.
