GAME SUMMARY

Rig'n'Roll

Rating: 3.9 (53 votes cast)

Players will step into the shoes of a young man in the year 2014 as he arrives in California to pursue his dreams of road domination and capture the Californian cargo transportation market. There are miles of highways to conquer and cities and towns to reach as he becomes the greatest trucker on the highways.

Rig'n'Roll is a sequel to the famous Hard Truck series. This time the game world is true-to-life. Gamers can race high-powered Semis along thousands miles of real Californian roads, visiting San-Francisco to San Diego, San Jose to Los Angeles. Rig'n'Roll delivers players the ultimate truck driving experience with authentic models of trucks and their interiors, completely new physics and astonishing 3D graphics among numerous features.

Players will outrun their opponents to deliver cargo on time or take part in truck races to prove their professional skills, giving them the opportunity to improve their rating and authority among other drivers. Rig'n'Roll also gives gamers an opportunity to test their management skills as they establish their own cargo transportation company. Players will recruit staff and hire other drivers to work for them as they expand their business and eliminate their competitors from the transportation market.

Apart from being the most accurate and innovative truck driving simulation game ever produced, Rig'n'Roll immerses players in an exciting story with an unexpected finale, making new allies and battling treacherous foes as they discover a conspiracy that will test their skills to the limit.

Rig'n'Roll review

By greenGIANT63 posted 3rd Dec 2011

this is a very fun game! If you are familiar with any of the 18 wheels of steel games or freight tycoon, this is a combo of both. You are in charge of a company which you inherited from your brother. You start the game driving your own truck and choosing the best run to take. As your company grows you can buy new trucks and hire drivers for these trucks.

A very fun element to the game is the truck stop where there is a handful of things you can do. You can go to the restaurant and get side missions or go to the hotel and let time speed past as you sleep. The best feature of the truck stop has to be the service shop where you can repair and upgrade your truck. There is also a storyline running throughout the game that isn't to bad but not a major factor in the enjoyment of the game.

The only other thing I feel it necessary to mention is when you purchase the game it will only allow you to install on 3 computers at a time. Not a big deal because if you need to install on new computer it lets you de-authorize old computers. This has nothing to do with the play of the game but it's worth noting.

I recomend this game to all the people that love driving trucks, this is a great game to play. It a good game because when your driving you got a little competition, the only promblem is when you turn the trailer slides out, anyway this is a pretty good game.

I would recommend this game to any hardcore truck simulator fans. This game is one of a kind, completely different from any other truck simulator available on the market currently. Unlike other truck simulators, this game has a story line to it which involves more then just hauling loads from point A to point B. You also have the option of just hauling loads from warehouse to warehouse if you don't feel up to completing missions. One thing that decreases the value of a simulator is that in each city there is only one warehouse where it is possible to deliver and gain a load. The games management system has great depth to it. The are many variables to take into consideration when purchasing a truck, hiring a driver or investing in a new office. All round the games physics seem to lack a lot of detail and make the game feel more so and arcade based game. Something that does inhance the simulation side of the game is the shear size of the map and attention to detail. Although every road and side street is not accessable, the area for each city is quite accurate and indulges the game itself, especially comparing it to other truck simulator games. Throughtout the game their are many things Softlab have missed that makes a simulation or in this case, a truck simulation as truck simulation. Keeping all of this in mind, it is worth the price tag but there is definately room for improvement in the future.

I would recommend this game to other player or people who drive Trucks its very realistic and gives you the feel of having to drive a truck out on the open road with stupid drivers and cops!

Comparing this game with the trucking simulators is hard if you try to be objective.

Personally I have played EuroTS, GermanTS,18wAmericaLH, 18ExtremeT and lastly rig n roll. What you do in the other games like driving cargo from A to B you can do it in Rignroll as well the main diference is parking and attaching cargo and perhaps the time limit.

Other diferences of course are the scenarios, the trucks and activities such upgrading trucks, hiring drivers, and basic management of a virtual company.

What I think of the simulators is that perhaps the driving experience is intend to be the most similar to real life however all the surrounding and changing factors are far from real, the trucking simulators in my opinion is like driving in a race circuit while Rig n roll is trying to be more similar to driving on the highway and the street.

What Rig n roll offers is a combination of hauling, racing, tycoon management and missions very similar to the Test Drive game, not that focus on the story but still interesting, Rignroll offer a better traffic AI, you see the diference of dirving in San Diego and driving in mojave and is more chalenging although not as enjoyable as in the simulators, the scenarios are high detailed, real and visible damage happens to your truck, the Radio is creative and far more interesting than in the simulators although it becomes a bit annoying when you hear the same music or dialogues during the game, the movies are a nice detail similar to the arcade games but not very well done, there is always something different going on, the cops chasing you is better than the simulators although can be improved, the fact that if you crash really bad it could lead to death in the game is more realisitc than in the simulators finally I think the price is more fair than some of the expensive simulators like ETS. There are many things to be improved on Rignroll but I think that now on the game developers are going to take more seriously the trucking games and simulators as wel. In conclusion you like driving trucks buy a simulator, if you think simulators are boring for you but still like trucking games try rig n roll and you may have more fun, as I do.

Pretty good game. Yes, it's not a simulation like 18 wheels of steel, but more arcade. Still, graphics are much better.

Rig'n'Roll is not simulation like WoS series of SCS, operations of attaching/detaching trailer are no needed in the game,(it's manually possible, but like easy mode in WoS series) and physics is also not realistic too.

If you want to play simulation, keep away from this game. Features' description is wrong, this is not simulator.

If you prefer action truck racing game with tycoon and story to real truck sim, this is yours.

I'd hold off on buying this one. It's got a lot of bugs and anyone who has played any of the Hard Truck games should be used to that. The tutorial does not work and the keys are set up a bit differently than the Hard Truck games. Ignore the system requirements when it says you can run it on a Pentium 4 2.4GHz as that is complete BS. I am running a P4 3.0 Hyper-Threaded with a GeForce 9500 and it runs very choppy and is almost unplayable even after installing the latest patch. This game seems set up more as a race than as a trucking sim. You drive the truck but you don't hook up to your trailer, it's all done for you and all you do is point the truck. There is always other trucks doing the same run and you are apparently in competition with them and are always playing catch up. Maybe that is how it is supposed to be in the beginning, but there is no way to know since the tutorial doesn't work and the into to the game treats you like you been playing this game for the last several years. If you really like this sort of game you will enjoy it but to me it is a step away from what I am used to with the Hard Truck games and leaves something to be desired. At least this game seems to have a point to it where the H/T games were always very open ended and went nowhere, so maybe it will get better if I can get it to run better on my rig.

Be aware that this game is not what most people think of being a "simulator game" Yes it look good, and have physics and the models can break appart ect. and yes you drive on the road from a-b.. But to be honest you do not have to attach the trailer your self you just see an video sequence. Its all about racing from a-b beeting 4 - 6 other computer apponments and even in hard mode you can do this every time.

Yes the game is big and beautifull with nice features but it feel like an arcade racing game, and not a truck simulator game. I hope they will one day make a patch that allow you to drive realistic delivering cargo and not having to race all the time.

But okay game, i give it *** stars.
