Mercedes-Benz Truck Racing
Dec 9th, 2008 by cm1

A well balanced truck racing game that will appeal to all racing/driving gamers.
Ability to change most things you’re annoyed with. Balance between realism and fun. Driving aids make the game almost completely arcade (optional). Graphics(for it’s time). Racing trucks feels fantastic in this game. AI is challenging but still makes mistakes. Realistic damage (optional). Authentic race tracks (Zolder, Misano, A1, Jarama, Nurburgring etc.). Weather effects.
Honestly not a lot is wrong with this game. It would be great if it featured more trucks and tracks to race on. But since this is officially licensed by Mercedes it’s not surprising there are no competitor’s trucks in the game. It’s a shame because it would add variety but it’s not a huge problem because even with more manufacturers, all trucks still compete under the same conditions and have more-less the same chance of winning. So it seems then the gripe would be that all the trucks are the same, except they just look different. And in this game they are the same and look the same. Not a huge deal.
More tracks would be nice. More trucks would be nice. More truck skins would be nice. AI doesn’t make enough mistakes. Sound is adequate, but could be a lot better. Race setup options are somewhat dumbed down. Fans of realism will not be 100% satisfied. (minor gripe)
Racing games typically come in two flavors: realistic/simulation or pure arcade. Sometimes though, a game will combine elements of both without ruining the fun of pure arcade racing or dumbing down the realism too much. MBTR leans more on the realistic side but has plenty of fun for casual gamers.
The game strikes a nice balance between realism and difficulty with many complex features that may displease the casual gamer either optional or unobtrusive. For example race setups can be ignored as well as qualifying and warm up stages. However visiting the garage and tinkering with the suspension or adjusting the gear ratios may lead to faster lap times. If you’re not overly interested in tinkering you can reduce the speed/skill of opponents and improve your performance that way. Participating in time trials also determines whether you start from pole position or somewhere mid-field.
