I bought the Impulse version of the game. It took me a little bit to warm up to it but I'm really enjoying it now.
There seem to be a fair amount of bugs but I haven't run into any major, gamebreaking bugs yet. Today I bought extra mirrors for my truck and they worked fine at first, but then both mirrors showed the image from the left side of the truck, as if they were the same mirror, lol. I just sold them.
The game ran/runs quite poorly for me even though my computer is fairly good, but after a lot of 'downsizing' of the graphics and resolution I got it to run fairly decent even at with medium traffic.
One of the biggest things that did bug me was the time limits. I spend about 12 hours trying to figure out how to mod the game to extend time limits or remove them completely. At times I thought I was close, but no dice. Anyways I ended up setting the difficulty to novice (easy) and now the time limits seem much better. I have time to get to my destinations without neccessarily going light-speed, and maybe a little extra time.
I've played a few other truck games, like 18wos and a european one, can't remember the name. They weren't bad but in my opinion this one is the best. I love the handling on the keyboard. I have the sensitivity set to 3 and centering force set to 1, this makes it so i have near-perfect control around turns and corners. If I ever need to turn the steering wheel faster I just hold control.
Obviously I voted Like It. I really hope they work to polish this game up a little more and don't abandon it. I think there's an expansion in the works (don't quote me on that I'm not positive) and I would love more roads to drive on. If there was one gameplay related thing I could change in this game, and other truck games too, it would be that the roads were longer. They're pretty good on this game but I'd like a more realistically long ride, but not over the top.
Sorry for chatting so much. Here's my spec's for good measure:
Windows 7 x64 Home Premium
Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 1GB
8GB DDR3 RAM
Quad Core Intel Core 2 Q8200
(Newest drivers all around.)

(I almost forgot. It would also be nice if songs were randomized in-game. I always have to push the 'I' key dozens of times just to get past the songs I've already heard dozens of times.)
