If you don't mind long loading times, crashes, choppy movement, inability to edit the controls and avatars that look like cat poop-filled sandboxes; then this is a game you STILL wouldn't play for free. Since PokerStars has essentially TANKED, they are desperate. Other than that, this is a "first one's free, kid" game; so that when they get older, they can become slaves to Las Vegas.

Best simulator out there.

My rig, in case I can't run this high tech game. ;-)

Processor Intel Core i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, 4GB
RAM G-SKILL 16 GB
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
Headphones: Razer BlackShark, 7.1 (Threw this is, because with the music and sound, it makes me feel more immersed into the game).

Now the review:

Just started playing the game a few hours ago and opening up levels, so this is an initial review. Bottom line: I like this sequel. I don't have any performance issues, since I have a decent rig.

Reading a few negative reviews and making fun of them. That stated, I'm not sure what folks were expecting. Maybe pictures of naked chicks after each level. Don't know. Don't care. To each their own.

Plainly written, it is a solid sequel with more great music added to the original soundtrack, which wasn't removed. Definite plus, as some games do away with origninal scores.
It was worth the $15. Some new stuff to the game like "jumping" can be a bit tasking, but practice makes perfect...although, in my case, it makes just better.

Pros:
- Continued solid flow and gameplay with this sequel to PM:CE. Seems faster also.
- Added more great tunes to an already great soundtrack.
- Addicting, yet relaxing, especially the "Spiral" levels.
- Braking. Very good idea. Instead of going back to avoid ghosts, just stop. Nice.

Cons:
- The "jumping" levels/feature not my favorite: I just play them to open up more levels, character forms, music, etc. Not a bad addition for the sequel. Just not my go-to.
- The "ghost chase" chain, from the head. A dumb idea. Just get rid of it in the next update, DEVS.

Other:
- "Bumping" into the ghots until they get "angry". Just odd.

If you liked the first PM:CE; then I'd recommend getting this. The price wasn't steep, especially for a continuation of new levels, music and overall replay value. A few additions that could be annoying.

On to more playing...

As a man who still is qualified to operate T/T and various lengths, capacities and the like; I must say, I CAN'T STOP PLAYING THIS GAME and I DON'T WANT TO!!!!

I've been out of the truck driving world for over 8 years; but since purchasing this game and all the others in the bundle, my desire to return to the real world of trucking is ever increasing.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!! Okay, now to the P&C of the game:

PROS:
- Physics are almost perfect.
- Internet radio makes this even more amazing. Classic Country is my favorite to drive to.
- The weather, scenic environment...just gorgous. I have everything on ULTRA.

CONS:
- The railing on the weigh stations are difficult to drive over when I arrive to drop a cargo load off.
- The traffic AI, could do with some improvement; but still not that bad. Sometimes, the drivers in California, are like those in the game: Lunatics.
- Crossing the line as you stop on red, ever so slightly can cause you to get a ticket. Sometimes.
........the "CONS" actually aren't bad, but I just wanted to write minor things. The game is great.

Personal CONS (problems with the game, because of my driving; not the devs):
- Writing about the scenic environment, it's easy to almost get into an accident.
- The ticket fees are astronomical. Then again, maybe I should be more careful.

**UPDATE: 23 April, 2017**

Still playing the game after the new update. Still not as smooth, although my rig is top notch. Will skip every now and then, but doesn't crash; then again, I do have a number of MODS. Mostly real company names, trailers, paint jobs, etc. Overall, I'm enjoying this game a lot.

I really enjoy this game. It's kind of like the old game "Dope Wars" with the "buy low, sell high" schematic. Yet, it's to the tune of the slogan: "Make American Great Again".

I voted for Trump three weeks ago and was glad to see him win. Screw the globalists.

I got it when it was on sale for a YUUUUUUGE $1.49. Would have paid $3.00 for it. Again, I enjoyed it.

Time to get back to it.

TRUMP/PENCE 2016 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Update: 23 April, 2017**

Proud to call Donald Trump my President.

I was hesitant at first, since I am an FPS fan. The "Point and Click" genre didn't appeal to me.

So, then...

being a fan of the show, I bought both season one and two, with the DLC. Bottom line...............

...

That's right. I'm speechless.

This game, short of a few very minor graphic glitches...was and is PHENOMENAL!!!

You shall not be displeased, if you are a fan of the graphic novels (which I have yet to read) and/or the show on AMC.

If you're haven't seen the show by now, play the game. Play the game first, then watch the show. It's ties in seamlessly.

Now, I'm on to season 2...
