Product Description

Product Description

Boasting seven real-life international circuits and trucks authentically recreated from the schematics of 14 officially licensed teams, Super Trucks' gameplay balances the aggression, power and incredible speeds of the massive vehicles with the immediacy of a gripping racing game. The comprehensive options menu allows players to adjust the handling of ach of the five-ton trucks to compensate for the effects of varied weather conditions and accrues damage. Game modes include five Championships, each of which must be completed in order to unlock hidden vehicles and courses, with single and arcade races, time trials and pan-European competitions available as single or split-screen two-player games. An extensive Replay Theatre is also included to show off the many crashes and tussles that are the backbone of the genre. With impressive driver AI, your computer-controlled opponents react accordingly, cutting you up or using your slipstream to overtake on the final straight


Manufacturer's Description

Super Trucks is is one of the biggest motorsports in Europe, featuring insane five tonne, 1400hp purpose-built vehicles that can out-accelerate a Porsche 911. Official teams, drivers, circuits and trucks are included, along with action so realistic you can almost smell the diesel fumes...

4.0 out of 5 stars Can trucks deliver the thrills of cars?, 1 Jul 2002
Right. Lets race. I'll choose a Honda GP bike, and you can choose any vehicle you like. What do you choose? An all out F1 car? A Road slaying Viper? Perhaps a Lotus? Well how about a truck? Exactly. Y'see, all of the above have all been featured in PS2 games so far, so has Jester Interactive done enough to their truck racing game to make you choose it over the all the other exotic vehicles out there?

Well, they've had a jolly good go at it. Supertrucks is an arcade style racer, with bags of trucks, licenced brand names, all the usual stuff that goes into racers nowadays. On top of that, there is also everything you'd expect in the options department. Single race, Championship, arcade, 2 player and so on. Nothing new, but all you expect to be there is there.

And then the camera swoops down the home straight, over the trucks and then right into the cab for the rolling start, then you have control. Bloody hell, this thing handles like a truck! Precisely. The thing about this is, is that trucks are not F1 cars or Vipers, they are trucks. They are very heavy, handle like barges, brake with a complete lack of passion and generally very sluggish, and it shows in the game. They chug about the track making a lot of noise and not a lot else. It's accurate, definately, but it's not a Viper.

So it's a shame that Supertrucks went down the arcade route. With a simulation game the trucks could have worked - Fettling with the hardware, repairing the damage in race (which happens a lot, and credit to the game for it), but as an arcader trucks just do not deliver the thrills that a race-bred car does. If you like your arcade racers fast and furious, then look elsewhere, but if you're a trucker, or you're looking for a new challenge, then you might just find it here. It is a great game, under those trucks!

4.0 out of 5 stars Change from the Norm, 13 Jul 2002
By S. Samson (Inverness, Highland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Had been looking for the for ages, never being stocked in my local Game but managed at long last to get a copy.

I have seen truck racing on SKy and enjoyed it and was looking for some thing different in my racing games on pS2.

I havent been disappointed. Though like the other reviewer I would have preferred more sim less arcade, but thats me with most driving games.

Graphics are good and once you get rid of that oh so annoying in game music (why do all ps2 games have to have that crap) the sound sof the trucks are not too bad. In cab view is excellent though periferal !!! vision is bad should have included a wing mirror view.

Lots of good close racing (if you turn up the AI) and lots of panel bashing.

Very customisable in terms of your vehicle if you want but you dont have to.

If your like me and a ps2 petrolhead, give this a try, a change from the normal driving game and damn good fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars super trucks ( jester ), 29 Mar 2005
Wow, what a game highly addictive with superb graphics and gameplay. For the money you can`t go wrong. If only jester would make a super trucks game for every season using more trucks and more tracks.
