Ah trucks, who has never wanted to spend a few hours practicing parking a truck, well not me.

Excalibur Publishing, who is on a mission to bring every possible flavour of truck experience to the public, has just released Trucks and Trailers. Rather than taking the trouble of producing a game/experience which allowed you to drive a number of different trucks this current game concentrates on the fascinating art of parking your trailer, using only your truck.

There are all sorts of parking experiences to be had, parallel parking, getting your trailer between two others, well, you get the idea. Now, if you think that you may be distracted by the surrounding environment, worry not as the whole experience happens in a single truck park. You can take the challenge of parking against the clock in fifty different ways and as your skills at parking increase you can move on to more complex parking experiences, in seven, yes, a massive seven different trucks.

Well, I could just go on for hours about truck parking, the realistic physics, the multiple camera angles you can use when parking your truck and the general truck experience, it’s just so trucky. The only good thing about this game is the average graphics, which uses its own Truck graphics engine.

Unless you’re really into trucks, especially parking trucks, then I’d think twice before you buy this game.
