I'm a little late getting to the ETS 2 party. I started playing ATS a little over 2 years ago. I've since amassed over 6,000 hrs in the game. I actually knew about ETS before that. I was searching You Tube for info on head tracking DIY's when I saw a demo of one using ETS. I was really interested but ended up going with ATS.

Then I got in to doing skins in ATS and I actually spend far more time in the game testing skins than actually driving now. I delayed getting into ETS for this very reason. I've slowed down on the skin making and am taking time to make You Tube videos so I thought good time to try ETS. It's great! I wish I had purchased it sooner. The game play is very similar to ATS and the menus don't look any different. What is different is the truck, trailers and scenery. The trucks are a little strange for a Canadian at first but I quickly grew to like them. The scenery is fantastic. In ATS the buildings look the same wherever you go as it covers one big country. In ETS you go through many countries all with their own style and the game reflects that. I'll probably never get to Europe in real life but I am gaining an appreciation for it through what knowledge I do have plus playing this game.

I highly recommend it!

This is a very engrossing driving simulator that rewards steady driving, navigating and job management. Once you earn enough money to buy your own truck you will earn more. Then get a trailer ( I like the low boys ) and start earning real money. Next up, buy a garage and update it to 3 bays. Earn some more money then buy another truck and trailer then put a driver on. Keep earning and expanding and your drivers bring in money that helps you expand. Sounds simple but it is so much more than this simple explanation. Buy the expansion packs and you will have California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. The scenery is pretty enjoyable. Watch some tutorials on YouTube to get a sneak preview. There is a very dynamic community supporting this sim and they are very active at creating new mods that are a breeze to install with the mod manager. Very nicely integrated into the game. It is a breeze to install and uninstall mods that you make. All in all I really enjoy this game and highly recommend it.
